PROPOSAL PART 1: QUESTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW 2
Introduction
The communities in North Queensland in Australia have the highest type 2 diabetes rate
and its complications are increasing too both internationally and nationally. It has been
diagnosed in children, young adults, adolescents, and old people but the prevalence of severity
due to the disease and complications related to it is seen mostly in adult males and older people.
Diabetes is a disease that is a reflection of the lifestyle choices of people but in the rural regions,
people suffering from it is often lead towards it due to genetic predisposition, poor social or
economic aspects and inadequate supply oh health-related care. Therefore, understanding the
issues, prevalence, spread, diagnosis and management for care of the diabetic male population in
the region is assessed in the paper while referring to previous works of literature. Analyzing the
reports and assumptions made by the articles and understanding the method in which it is done is
the aim of the paper.
Evidence from literature
Australian National Diabetes Strategy 2016–2020 states that there are three specific
types of diabetes and type II diabetes is a very common form of the disease. It is mostly
preventable and is associated with the kind of lifestyle an individual leads. In this type of
diabetes, the production of insulin becomes slower progressively in the pancreas leading to the
key organs of the human body resist the impact or effect brought about by insulin (Libianto,
Davis & Ekinci, 2020). The organs' ability to utilize the glucose content in blood decreases.
While this type of diabetes has been recorded in people over the age of 50 in the past, it is
becoming common in an increasing manner in adolescents, young adults and children too. The

article by Azzopardi et al., 2012 states methods of diagnosing and dealing with the issue of
T2DM. There are challenges faced by people in remote areas concerning health care delivery.
Food insecurity, remote settings, inadequate staffing, and basic resource absence commences
reluctance to get a diagnosis, continue with insulin therapy or screening for complications
(Australian National Diabetes Strategy 2016–2020. 2016). Therefore, engaging young adults,
developing psychosocial health, initial management to stabilize issues ketosis and
hyperglycemia, modifying lifestyles, monitoring blood glucose, agents of oral hypoglycaemic
