What people with Diabetes in Bentleigh East usually need help with
Diabetes is highly prevalent among older Australians and requires careful daily management to prevent complications such as foot ulcers, kidney disease, and vision loss. Home care services through a Home Care Package or the Support at Home program can fund nursing for wound care and medication management, as well as personal care and allied health supports. Regular nursing visits at home can help older people with diabetes maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of serious complications.
For chronic and complex medical conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying whether the main need is nursing, personal care, therapy, or a flexible combination, then comparing local providers who can adjust support when symptoms change.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of nursing or clinical staff with experience in the specific condition
- • Flexibility to adjust support at short notice during symptom changes
- • Coordination with local GPs, specialists, and hospital services
- • Whether the provider can deliver both personal care and clinical support through one service

Understanding Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2)
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting how the body processes blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form in older Australians, affecting approximately 1.3 million people, with many more undiagnosed. Diabetes causes complications affecting the eyes (retinopathy), kidneys (nephropathy), nerves (neuropathy), and cardiovascular system. For older Australians, managing diabetes involves blood glucose monitoring, medication adherence, dietary management, foot care, and regular screening for complications. Unmanaged diabetes accelerates other age-related conditions and significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, amputation, and kidney failure. Home-based support for older Australians with diabetes focuses on maintaining health routines that prevent complications and supporting daily living when complications have already occurred.
How diabetes affects daily life
Diabetes affects daily life through the constant need for blood glucose management, medication timing, dietary planning, and complication monitoring. Meals must be planned with carbohydrate content in mind. Blood glucose testing may be needed multiple times daily. Insulin injections (for those who require them) must be timed correctly. Peripheral neuropathy causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet, increasing falls risk and the chance of unnoticed injuries. Foot ulcers can develop from minor injuries and may lead to amputation if not treated promptly. Diabetic retinopathy affects vision. Fatigue and cognitive changes can accompany poorly controlled blood sugar. Many older Australians with diabetes also manage multiple other conditions, making the medication and monitoring regime complex.
What to look for in a provider
Good diabetes providers ensure that all workers understand the basics of blood glucose management, including recognising hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar). Ask whether their nurses can manage insulin administration, whether they provide foot care and inspection, and whether they coordinate with the person's GP, endocrinologist, and podiatrist. Red flags include providers whose workers cannot recognise the signs of hypo or hyperglycaemia, who do not check feet regularly, or who prepare meals without considering the person's dietary requirements.
How to access funding
For older Australians, diabetes support is accessed through My Aged Care (1800 200 422). An ACAT/ACAS assessment determines eligibility for a Home Care Package. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides lower-level support. The National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) provides subsidised blood glucose monitoring supplies, insulin pump consumables, and continuous glucose monitors. Diabetes Australia provides education and support resources.
