INTRODUCTION
Diabetes has become one of the most prevalent long-term conditions occurring in
approximately 90-95% of the people in Australia. This is occurred when the body is not able to
produce the most important hormone insulin due to which the blood sugar levels in the person
rise (Thevarajah and Simmons, 2019). The report will shed light on the background of the
problem which is faced by the hospitals because of the long stay of the patients with diabetes
after surgery which increases the costs of the treatment and which is incurred by the hospitals. It
will also develop certain aims which will be achieved as the solution of the problem. The data
analysis strategy will also be highlighted for analysing the data except the primary data because
there is no extra funding for surveys and questionnaires.
Background
Diabetes mellitus is considered to be a disorder in which the body becomes unable to
produce enough insulin or respond to them which increases the blood sugar levels in the body.
This disorder not only impacts the patient but also the healthcare systems in Australia. The
prevalence and incidence of the diabetes mellitus in the people of Australia is increasing day by
day in recent years. The impact of Diabetes mellitus basically increases the social as well as the
financial costs which are basically caused by macro-vascular as well as micro-vascular
complications along with the history of the disease. There are basically three types of diabetes:
Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes (Nagle and et.al., 2018). These types of diseases are
basically the type of endocrine disease. In Australia, diabetes has become the most common
disease among all the endocrine disorders. Due to this, the patients suffering from diabetes
mellitus are increasing in the hospitals. The hospitals in Australia have limited facilities and they
are now not becoming enough for the number of patients. The complications of this disorder are
many such as kidney failure, heart disease, vision loss, lower-extremity amputations etc. The
diagnosis rates and the spending related to the disorder is continuing to grow. The total health
investment and the costs for the treatment for the people having diabetes is becoming out of
pockets of them (Kilgour and et.al., 2019). The rates of insulin are also increasing day by day
which force the lawmakers and the consumers to give attention to the insulin affordability
especially for the people who are living on the same.
