1) Two factors that may affect the self esteem of a person with diabetes mellitus and there are
factors that affect their self esteem and management of diabetes mellitus.
There are lots of factor which is arises due to the diabetes which affect the life of an
person. As per the above the self esteem which make the diabetes in the graveyard is:
 Puberty and development: as in the developing age when the diabetes is identified the
confidence and life prospectus is down. In initially the major factor is create the way of
thinking is totally change by feeling himself as a patient.
 Weight issue: in the diabetes the major problem is faced by person is obesity where the
patient get overweighted due the effect of diabetes. And also due the the weight gain the
activeness of the body is reduced as compared to earlier. The proper management of the
diabetes in term of self esteem is to built confidence inside the mind. Don't be feel patient
while on any term, as per this formulate a thinking about that diabetes is a common
disease which is having a minor problem and hundred of one is facing this. Make a
timetable and follow a diet chart which is proper based on the diabetes management and
feel energetic all time. Sometime this management also create problem inside the body
while currently changing on the diet and life routine turns into a deep tough about a panic
form (Al Hayek and at. al., 2017).
2) The three main issues related to diabetes care delivery and diabetes related services based on
individual, cultural and political.
In the diabetes the client specific problem is identified which affect the quality of diabetic
care have must include delay in getting appointment, lack of proper utilisation of waiting are for
the main motto of health education, and the proper management is not understandable by the
physician or doctor due the lack of time, some word which is related to field of medical cant be
getting by the patient. So while providing information about the diabetes must be use easy and
appropriate language that helps the patient to understand. The cultural barrier which affect the
management of diabetes is language barrier with the diabetes nurses, improper provision of
continuous in the process of care, lack of clarification of disease related problem, delay in
finding the investigation of result which is may be patient of client himself, a long for the
ophthalmology appointment that make s significant path in prevention of diabetes (Chew and et.
al., 2016). And also in the diabetes the basic and major problem which is faced by patient is
inadequate supplies of prescribed medication to cover the time between appointment and
1

deficiency of refer to dietician. Sometime patient also gone through the different line of drugs
which is changed by the diabetic specialist which create some adverse and side effect on the
physiology of patient and medicine get resist in some cases (Crowshoe and et. al., 2018).
3) The environmental and social factors which is participating to diabetes mellitus in the
Australian common population
Diabetes is a heterogeneous syndrome where it is difficult to formulate a unified
pathogenesis. In many of countries, diabetes have create a bad impact even it is found in young.
Type-2 diabetes occur a decade earlier and type-1 occurs a time later which alter the medication
and patient in short duration. In the most of the cases the time of onset depend on the
environment factor which is started by the obesity, increase in age and diet indiscretion (Maier
and et. al., 2016). The survey team of Australian diabetes found, obesity and lifestyle estimated
the prevalence of type-2 diabetes in Australians aged 25 or more than above have 7.2% have
been faced this the male are 7.6% and female are 6.7%. this data represent the 850000 and more
are affected by this disease. The prevalence type -2 diabetes arisen with age like a person aged
70 year and or older at least ten time more likely to have thee chances of diabetes than someone
aged 30-40 years (Mozumder and et. al., 2019).
 25–34 years 0.1%
 35–44 years 2.4%
 45–54 years 6.0%
 55–64 years 16.0 %
 65–74 years 21.2 %
 75+ years 20.9%
 Total 7.6%
4) The factors include with higher rates of diabetes mellitus face by the Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people in respect with diabetes.
The identification of type-2 diabetes in higher among aboriginal and Torres strait islander
people than the entire Australian population. The health care suggest that the prevalence may be
as high as 35% is some aboriginal society or communities, if compared with 5% in the common
population. In this context there is limited national records which properly measure the rate of
expansion of the disease among the aboriginal and Torres strait islander people. The most of the
survey which is held in aboriginal and Torres strait islander people have make their own self
2

report they have diabetes, but there is also major number of patient which is not diagnosed. The
overall observation include the type-1 and type-2 diabetes is reported around 98-99% of diabetes
in aboriginal and Torres strait islander people. As per the reports, national aboriginal and Torres
strait islander survey there are 3.9% of male and 5.0% female are suffering from diabetes in
1994. after the age of 45 years the rate is 17% to 25% (Neal and et. al., 2017).
5) Significance of the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) in supporting and delivering
services to diabetes patient for care to Australians.
The national diabetes service scheme (NDSS) which helps to people who is suffering to
diabetes by different management process and make life simple and convinced to live. Its also
provide reliable and affordable access to NDSS support service and product in a short duration of
time. Where the role of NDSS is to stand with diabetic patient and give him support as moral and
product basis to live life easily and accurately (Peña and et. al., 2020). The NDSS provide many
of product which is including and safety guideline for the diabetic patient are:
 Needle and syringe barrels.
 Blood glucose and insulin ampoule
 urine test sample and strips
 insulin pumps and ampoule for consumables
 continuity in glucose monitoring (CGM) product and also provide manual for use of
product (Petroni and et. al., 2017).
The NDSS also helps diabetic patient through their support service and product. They
always connect with the many of patient for the health premises and developing new
management to cure the diabetes.
6) Diabetes care in context of Australia
Diabetes care now a days become the one of the prior for the health system for the
Australia. Traditionally, the health system has been designed for providing the response of any

diabetes services spectrum which are varies in the single healthcare provider which works in the
isolated community, they refers to the primacy care doctors and health nurses which are working
in health centres, clinics and district hospitals. The CCM which refers to chronic care model are
associated with the paradigm shift of healthcare delivery model, which focuses in the long term
problem to avoiding it. As like as the acute illness, diabetes includes the behavioural,

management etc. Healthcare organisation provides the structural foundation and the diabetes
service provider are able to support the health system and organisation. Community resources
and policies are helpful in proving the ancillary services for self management. Clinical
information system collects timely data about the patients individually. Delivery system design
are exploration of reconfiguring the care in community clinic, primary care and hospital settings
(Piatt, J.A. and Chiasson, L., 2016).
7) General practitioners in diabetes care

performs foot examination and U-albumin in patients which are only in 30 -32%. They generally
provides some home remedies with the medication and ask their patients to follow all the steps
