As it is a life-long chronic disease, it affects the lives of individuals and families in all aspects. Besides pathophysiological changes in individuals, it causes conflicts, problems and changes in the psychosocial dimension.

By using the Neuman Systems Model, nurses are better able to identify and diagnose areas of particular stress to diabetic patients and recommend and implement treatment from a holistic perspective. In this article; we aim to create awareness of using the Neuman Systems Model in management of Diabetes Mellitus and to help enlighten the discipline-specific studies
