Abstract: Lifestyle diseases have currently become rampant and take toll of the population due to lack of absolute treatment strategy, thus the biggest burden is on the control, which requires substantial financial resources in the care and treatment of infected patients. Diabetes and hypertension are among the common autoimmune diseases commonly occurring in patients, escalating the total effect on the infected and affected individuals. In this study, a mathematical model was formulated and analyzed to describe the disease dynamics, and determine the threshold values of significant parameters for optimal control strategy. The formulated model was tested for its positivity, stability and robustness and sensitivity of parameters evaluated. It was found that the model will guide the lifestyles desired to control the occurrence of the disease, thus improving the health living of the population and reduce the financial burden of treatment and care of patients.
