Chronic diseases are increasing, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease —- and so on. Many patients think: chronic diseases are not good to see, is to take drugs, come to the clinic every month to prescribe medication can be. This view is wrong. Chronic diseases require systematic control. Although chronic diseases cannot be cured, good management is directly related to the occurrence of complications, the patient’s quality of life and longevity. Every time you come to see a doctor, prescribing medication is not the only purpose. Take diabetes as an example: 1. you need to report your recent blood glucose to the doctor, so that the doctor can understand and judge the patient’s blood glucose control level; 2. you need to ask the doctor the problems you have encountered recently: such as what can you eat? What cannot be eaten? Where is the discomfort? 3.The doctor adjusts the treatment plan; the treatment plan needs to be adjusted regularly, never one plan is used to the end, unchanged; 4.The doctor instructs the next step of attention: such as which index needs to be rechecked? What do you need to pay attention to in terms of diet? What do you need to pay attention to with a certain drug? And so on. The reason why many patients feel that seeing a doctor is prescribing medication is largely because they have not done their homework, and when they come to the hospital to face the doctor, they do not know how to communicate, do not know what information to provide to the doctor, do not know what questions to ask the doctor, and do not even know what medication they take. In this way, every opportunity to communicate with the doctor is wasted. It should be said that the disease is one’s own and requires more effort on one’s part. Learning to see a doctor, rather than relying entirely on him or her, is a more beneficial attitude towards seeking medical care.
