Regular check-ups for diabetic patients can play a role in the prevention and early detection of various acute and chronic complications. Therefore, if patients or their families know the significance of various check-ups for diabetic patients, regular check-ups will play a good monitoring role in the treatment, which is conducive to controlling the progress of diabetes and delaying the emergence of various complications. The following is a brief introduction to diabetes-related checkup items: 1. Items to be checked within a month: Blood sugar monitoring: Patients should decide the frequency and time of blood sugar monitoring according to the specific situation. In the early stage of the disease, or when adjusting the treatment plan, or changing the diet or exercise routine, it is recommended to increase the number of blood sugar monitoring appropriately; check blood sugar daily when the disease is unstable, and check blood sugar at any time once there are uncomfortable symptoms; after the disease is stable After the condition is stable, fasting and postprandial blood glucose should be checked at least 2 times a month. Blood pressure monitoring: the incidence of hypertension in diabetic patients is two to six times higher than that of the general population, so regular blood pressure monitoring is advocated, and it is best to have your own electronic blood pressure monitor at home so that you can monitor your blood pressure at any time. 2. Items to be checked every quarter: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c): It is a reliable indicator for determining the level of long-term blood glucose control and the effect of medication for diabetic patients as well as predicting the development of diabetic complications, and it reflects the changes in the average blood glucose level in the three months before blood sampling. 3. Items to be checked once every six months: Urine routine: including urine sugar, urine ketone body, urine protein, white blood cell and many other indicators, these indicators can indirectly reflect the patient’s blood sugar level and clarify whether there is ketoacidosis, the presence of urinary tract infection and other conditions. Patients who do not have kidney complications can have a routine urine examination every six months, and when there are complications or infections, they can have a routine urine examination in time according to the doctor’s requirements. Heart examination: including electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound. Diabetic patients are prone to complications of cardiovascular disease, so even if they do not have heart disease symptoms, they should have regular ECG and cardiac ultrasound examinations in order to detect various arrhythmias and understand the blood supply to the heart muscle. Those without complications are recommended to have them done once every six months or once a year, while those with complications need to be examined according to the needs of the specialist. Oral examination: High blood sugar increases the chance of tooth and gum lesions, so it is best for patients to visit the dentist every 3 to 6 months for oral examination to detect diabetic oral complications in time. 4, annual check-up items: Lipid series: including total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and other items. Diabetic patients are often accompanied by disorders of lipid metabolism, so even if diabetic patients should check their blood lipids at least once a year, and those treated with lipid-regulating drugs need to increase the number of tests. Liver and kidney function: Diabetic nephropathy is a common chronic complication of diabetes, and kidney function tests can help detect diabetic nephropathy at an early stage. At the same time, because type 2 diabetic patients often have obesity, dyslipidemia, fatty liver and abnormal liver function, liver function tests should also be done. Urine microalbumin: Diabetic patients without kidney complications should have their urine microalbumin checked at least once a year, and those with kidney disease should have their urine microalbumin, routine urine protein and kidney function checked regularly according to the specialist’s requirements. Fundus examination: Retinopathy does not usually affect vision in the early stage, so it is not easy to detect. Therefore, we advocate that diabetic patients should have their fundus checked once every six months to once a year for early detection of retinopathy. Lower extremity function examination: including lower extremity nerve function examination and arteriovenous ultrasound examination. As diabetes is often complicated by peripheral neuropathy, it is recommended that patients have a functional examination of the lower extremities once a year to achieve early prevention. Chest X-ray: The incidence of tuberculosis is 3 to 4 times higher in diabetic patients than in normal people, so chest X-ray is useful for detecting tuberculosis and lung infection.
