Diabetes is a chronic lifelong disease that requires long-term medication. Even if your blood sugar is well controlled, it is important to see your doctor at regular outpatient visits. Here are a few tips for your patients to refer to: 1. It is best to select 1~2 doctors and see him regularly, for a long time, to be familiar with the condition, not only for better results, but also to save the time of both parties. 2, how to choose a doctor? Specialists and doctors with senior titles in hospitals pay more attention to difficult and critically ill patients, and there are many people looking for them, so they are very busy. Diabetes is a common and multiple disease, and they have limited time. Doctors with intermediate titles have relatively ample time and have more time to communicate. 3.Visit time: preferably before 10 o’clock in the morning, too late test results have an impact; to visit the clinic on an empty stomach, if thirsty can drink some plain water; if oral antihypertensive drugs, take them as usual, do not stop taking them, there is no impact on the test results, stopping the drugs will lead to higher blood pressure, there is a certain risk. 4, many patients have a blood glucose meter at home to measure blood glucose, as long as measured, recorded in the blood glucose monitoring book (the following chart), before the visit to bring, the doctor took a look, immediately understand the recent blood glucose situation, easy to analyze the condition, save a lot of time, but also save your costs. 5. Diabetes can be combined with various diseases, and medication needs to be used with great caution. It is best to bring a copy of your previous hospital records and various test results before your visit, so that the more comprehensive the doctor knows about you, the better it will be for your condition. 6, more and more patients injecting insulin, insulin types, brands, even the same brand of insulin, the wrong word is two different drugs, I have repeatedly encountered elderly patients, bad eyes, bought the wrong insulin, resulting in hypoglycemic coma. Therefore, it is best to bring your past medical records or medication box to confirm that it is safe and secure before you go to the clinic. 7. Make an appointment for registration. This is a new way of registration, which can be done without leaving home, by logging on to the hospital’s Internet or calling the phone number for an appointment, which saves you the pain of running and waiting. At present, patients in some areas can make appointments in the community through community health service centers (stations), and then take the appointment slip and go directly to the hospital for consultation and examination, without having to wait in line for registration. 8, people often say: “If there are no complications, diabetes is not considered a disease”, it can be seen that the “killing power” of complications, so we must pay close attention to. Asymptomatic patients should have an electrocardiogram, proteinuria, fundus, liver and kidney function tests at least once a year, while those with symptoms should have them done once every six months. Liver and kidney function tests should be done once three months after the start of a new treatment regimen. Once in three months, an outpatient visit must be made to check glycated hemoglobin. 9, blood glucose meter to pay attention to the accuracy, the market glucose meter variety, good and bad, blood glucose results are accurate is difficult to say, many glucose meter before use requires input bar code and password correction. The easiest way is to bring your own blood glucose meter to the hospital and measure it once before going to the clinic (hospital blood glucose meters are regularly calibrated and are generally more accurate), and then measure it with your own, so you will know. I have encountered many cases of patients with inaccurate blood glucose meters, which delayed the disease. Diabetes requires patience and care, I wish you good health!
