Diabetes is a disease which caused by socio-environmental and / or genetic factors. The negative effect of socio-environmental or lifestyle leads a susceptible individual to become a diabetic. On the one hand, social interaction wields a great deal of influence over lifestyle. On the other hand, genetic factors are the main cause of the birth diabetes genetic disorder. Considering these above mentioned factors. In the present paper, we study a discrete age continuous mathematical model that describes the dynamics of diabetics. We highlight the negative impact of socio-environmental on diabetic patients according to age groups. We also suggest an optimal strategy to implement the best campaigns of rising awareness that aims at protecting diabetic patients from the negative impact of a lifestyle that leads them to complications. In addition to psychological treatment and follow-up of diabetic patients with complications, an awareness campaign will also be carried out for people with potential diabetes that aims at educating them about the dangerous of diabetes and its complications. Pontryagin's maximum principle is used to characterize the optimal controls and the optimality system is solved by an iterative method. The numerical simulation is carried out using MATLAB.
