Supportive Home Care for Managing Diabetes at Home

|

Managing diabetes is a daily challenge, especially for older Australians who may already be juggling other health conditions. From monitoring blood sugar levels to following medication schedules and maintaining a balanced diet, the process can feel overwhelming without consistent support. Home care services from a specialist provider such as Home Care Assistance can make this journey much easier—helping older adults remain independent, safe, and well while continuing to live at home.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, around 1 in 6 Australians aged 65 and over live with diabetes[1]—a number that keeps increasing as our ageing population grows. For many of these individuals, professional home care support is becoming crucial for maintaining their health and quality of life.

This article examines how home care services can support diabetes management and why they are a vital resource for older Australians and their families.

Medication Management and Blood Sugar Monitoring

Taking medications at the right time and in the correct dose is a fundamental part of effective diabetes management. Older adults may find it challenging to remember their schedules or manage insulin injections, especially if they have vision problems, arthritis, or cognitive decline.

Home Care Professionals provide essential support by:

  • Reminding clients to take their medication on time
  • Assisting with insulin administration (when trained and permitted)
  • Monitoring for signs of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar)
  • Assisting in maintaining accurate blood sugar level records for doctors and diabetes educators.

This consistent oversight lowers the risk of complications and ensures any worrying changes are reported quickly to health professionals.

Meal Planning and Nutrition Support

Diet is essential in managing diabetes. Eating a healthy, balanced diet helps keep blood glucose stable, supports weight management, and lowers the risk of related issues like heart disease.

Care Professionals can:

  • Prepare meals that adhere to the diabetes-friendly dietary guidelines, such as low-GI foods, lean proteins, and high-fibre vegetables.
  • Help with grocery shopping to make sure healthy options are available in the home.
  • Encourage portion control and regular meal times to prevent dangerous blood sugar fluctuations.

These small, consistent changes add up to better health outcomes and increased confidence in everyday routines.

Encouraging Physical Activity and Foot Care

Regular physical activity boosts insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood glucose levels. For older people, exercise also strengthens muscles, improves balance, and supports heart health. However, many are hesitant to exercise alone due to safety concerns.

A home Care Professional can promote safe, gentle activities suited to the person’s ability, such as walking, stretching, or chair-based exercises. They can also help with setting achievable goals and maintaining consistent exercise routines.

Foot care is another vital part of managing diabetes. Poor circulation and nerve damage raise the risk of ulcers and infections. Care Professionals can assist by:

  • Checking feet daily for cuts, blisters, or signs of infection
  • Helping with correct washing and drying of feet
  • Ensuring suitable and comfortable footwear is worn
  • Notifying health professionals if issues occur

This preventative support can greatly lower the risk of serious complications, including amputations.

Emotional and Mental Wellbeing

Living with a chronic condition like diabetes is not only physically demanding but emotionally tough as well. Many older adults face stress, anxiety, or even depression as they go through the daily tasks of self-care.

Companionship is one of the most overlooked benefits of home care. A friendly Care Professional offers reassurance, encouragement, and someone to chat with—making the burden of diabetes feel lighter.

In addition, Care Professionals can connect clients with community resources, diabetes support groups, or mental health professionals when needed. This holistic approach ensures emotional well-being is supported alongside physical health.

Telehealth and Remote Support

With the increasing availability of telehealth in Australia, many diabetes-related consultations can now be done from home. This minimises the stress of travel and waiting times, while ensuring consistent access to healthcare providers.

Home Care Professionals can play a vital role by setting up technology for virtual appointments, assisting clients to participate in video calls, and ensuring medical advice is followed after each session. This smooth integration between home care and healthcare workers makes diabetes management more accessible and efficient.

Integration with the Healthcare Team

Managing diabetes effectively often requires a team approach, involving GPs, diabetes educators, dietitians, podiatrists, and sometimes specialists. Home Care Professionals serve as an important link in this chain.

They provide day-to-day observations that can be shared with healthcare providers, reinforce medical instructions, and ensure consistency in following treatment plans. This continuity of care helps older adults stay on top of their condition and reduces the risk of hospital admissions.

A Day in the Life: How Home Care Helps

To bring it all together, consider this example:

Mrs. Lee, a 72-year-old living with Type 2 diabetes, starts her morning with the help of her Care Professional. Together, they check her blood sugar, and her Care Professional records the result in her health journal. After reminding her to take her medication, the Care Professional prepares a balanced breakfast rich in fibre and low in added sugars. Later, they take a short walk around the block, followed by light stretching exercises. In the afternoon, her Care Professional helps her prepare for a telehealth appointment with her GP, ensuring her latest glucose readings are ready to share. Before leaving, the Care Professional checks her feet, noticing a small blister that Mrs. Lee hadn’t felt due to reduced sensation. They arrange a quick podiatry visit—preventing what could have been a serious infection.

This kind of support not only improves Mrs. Lee’s health outcomes but also gives her family peace of mind knowing she’s safe and supported at home.

How can support from Home Care Assistance help?

Diabetes can be a complex and demanding condition, but with the right support, older Australians can live safely, confidently, and independently at home. Home care services provide a structured, compassionate framework that includes medication management, nutrition guidance, physical activity, foot care, emotional support, and connection with the wider healthcare team.

At Home Care Assistance, we understand that every individual’s needs are different. Our Care Professionals work alongside families and healthcare professionals to create personalised care plans that make daily life easier and healthier for older adults living with diabetes.

    Jeremy is a really good man, he has fantastic family values and cares for everyone. I would definitely recommend Health Care Assistance to help you and your family
    Would recommend this company to absolutely anyone! They pride themselves with quality service!
    Amazing service with great workers and excellent team managing funds sufficiently. Highly recommend this company
    My husband had two major strokes 6 years ago which turned our lives upside down over night. two years ago we were given the opportunity to look for a provider to help us make life easier at home for... my husband. We choose a provider and had them for two years. I can't tell express enough of how that ended up causing us so much stress and anxiety as they were in this business for the wrong reasons, very money orientated as fees were astronomical and the service was equally as bad. My husband even had a bad accident on his scooter where he could of been killed at Helensvale and some low life also stole his mobile phone while he was on the ground so he could not contact anyone but not even a word from my provider to say how sorry they were to hear that, it meant nothing, like I said just in it for the money. After two years I had had enough and found a provider by the name of Home Care Assistance. We have only been with them for one month and already it has made a huge difference to our lives, the stress levels are manageable now as they are absolutely in this business of caring for the elderly and disabled for the RIGHT reasons, they have been nothing but professional, kind and caring and they actually listen to what our needs are even though they are sometimes of the chart, but what counts is that it is to make my husbands life better, he is the one who was unlucky in life to have this happen to a very kind soul at a young age. We needed help and now we have it. The director of this company Michelle and our client advisor Jourdan have been the best and I can honestly say to anyone out there looking for a provider, as there are many, don't look any further than Home Care. If anyone would like to speak to me personally, pls get in touch with HomeCare as I will gladly tell u our story and how important it is that when tragedy strikes and you are a mess, you really need that help and support. I can't thank Home Care enough for everything in such a short time. I feel blessed to have found them.read more

    I have changed the company who provided care for my mother to Home Care Assistance who are based at the Gold Coast. With the previous company I had 40 different carers over 3 years and now have the... same carer 5 days a week. My mother was with the same big company for 20 years. I requested they send the same carer on certain days but really did not care about my mothers or my needs. When someone is blind and deaf they do not need a carer coming into the house who has not been here before.The carers with Home Care Assistance are paid a better hourly rate than the previous company and their admin costs are far cheaper and now saving $600 a month which can now give me more hours.If you have elderly parents looking to change from the BIG providers give them a call. Michelle and Jourdan have been great to deal with and very caring.I highly recommend this company.They have carers looking for work and need more clients to make the transfer.read more

    At the beginning of this year I interviewed several care companies searching for help with my mum who is totally dependant every day.Mum was quite resistant to the idea of having strangers coming in... to her home, she felt very uncomfortable, but I was desperate at the same timefeeling guilty. When speaking with Jourdan as we discussed HCA & theirpolicies, prices, priorities I felt that this was the right company for my mum & I. The interest in my mums needs & her fears were clearly important, which put me at ease making this new journey a little easier.From the 7th March we have received excellent care. Whatever we asked for has been received. The carers who attend to my mum are perfectly matched to her needs, she now feels safe, very comfortable & well cared for, she is also looking forward to their visits.

But perhaps the best quality of their organisation is the high calibre and personalised choice of all the care givers they have provided for us - whether it be someone to spend time with my husband or someone to slash our overgrown yard.I have no hesitation in recommending Home Care Assistance - and, indeed, have already done so.Pamela Payneread more

    Home Care Assistance Sydney provided fantastic, caring, professional and personalised support for my Mum, enabling her to live independently in her own home for as long as possible, which was... supremely important to her. Paola Sandoval, Mum's case manager, was brilliant. She organised and coordinated carers, nurses, occupational therapists, equipment, vision specialists, cleaners, meals and more, all with supreme efficiency and attentiveness. Everything was seamless and nothing was too much trouble. As Mum's needs changed and increased, Paola ensured that the services Mum received adapted to her needs. The load that this takes off a family's shoulders cannot be overstated.Mum's carer, Laura Sandoval, was equally wonderful. She played an absolutely critical role in supporting not only Mum's day-to-day functioning but also her wellbeing. Apart from being unfailingly dependable and competent, Laura was exceptionally kind and thoughtful, always finding ways to enrich Mum's experience day-to-day. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mum, and Mum could tell, which made all the difference to her quality of life. We will never forget Laura.It was also brilliant that Home Care Assistance Sydney provided nursing support. Mum's nurse, Ryan, was warm and knowledgeable, with some brilliant practical advice. And, once again, nothing was too much trouble. With all that can go wrong at short notice in the elderly, it was extremely comforting knowing that a home visit from a nurse was there if we needed it.All in all, Home Care Assistance Sydney surpassed all expectations. We are extremely grateful, and could not recommend this agency more highly.read more

When searching for a new provider, I came across this provider and after speaking... with Jordan, I felt comfortable in making the change. I look forward to working with Home Care Assistance Gold Coast for my husband's future needs. Since meeting Jordan, I am even more certain of our choice of provider. Anne and Robert Mackay.read more
    The whole team at Home Care Assist are amazing. I can't begin to tell you how much help Geoff Doherty was to me when I was trying to navigate the Aged Care process. The Coffs Harbour team led by... Rachael, who is a wonderful caring and helpful manager, is an absolute gem. My every need is taken into consideration and the staff employed to do the actual caring/cleaning are second to none. Nothing is too much trouble. I need Physio and Hydrotherapy services and Emily, who is also a absolute gem always pays the providers promptly and they are very grateful for that. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for Caring, Compassionate, timely and reliable care.read more
