What to prepare before a diabetic visit or consultation

  I often see some of my diabetic friends who have to wait for new tests at the time of consultation because they cannot provide their usual treatment information or test data, and for this reason they are delayed for some time. Here, I will tell you some of the information, including laboratory tests, that you need to prepare for your diabetes consultation. If you are a dedicated person, with a little preparation, I believe that you can make your visit smoother and more efficient.  It is best to have the outer packaging and instructions of the medication with you, so that the doctor can clearly identify your current treatment plan and help determine your condition, and the doctor can use this as a basis to develop a new treatment plan for you. If necessary, your doctor will also ask you to check your postprandial glucose while you are on your current regimen. If you do not bring your medication with you on the day of your visit, and you seldom check your postprandial glucose, it will be difficult for your doctor to know your recent postprandial glucose.  2. The laboratory results of blood biochemical indexes, including fasting blood, liver function, kidney function and lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), fasting blood glucose level and glycosylated hemoglobin (reflecting the average blood glucose level in three months) level. 3. The blood glucose profile usually checked under the condition of normal meal and regular medication, if you have your own blood glucose meter, you can check the blood glucose before and after three meals. The blood glucose level of the finger blood or venous blood at 2 hours after taking hypoglycemic medication (the first mouthful of meal is taken normally, and the blood glucose level is checked at 2 hours). If you do not have a blood glucose meter, you can check the blood glucose before breakfast (i.e. fasting), after breakfast and 2 hours after lunch. Note that it is better to have the same life pattern as usual (regular diet and exercise, etc.), and there is no change in medication and no pathological condition in the body.  4, urine routine, urine protein / creatinine (a urine, does not have to be early morning urine), 8-hour urine at night (10 pm to 6 am) microalbumin excretion rate.  5.If there is chest tightness, etc., an electrocardiogram is also required (it is best to send chest tightness at the time, or provide an electrocardiogram when there are no symptoms if conditions are limited).  6.Ophthalmology for fundus examination.  7.If there is numbness and pain in the lower extremities, it is also necessary to check the lower extremity artery ultrasound, which may also include carotid artery ultrasound.  8, neurology electromy, such as the numbness of the end of the limbs need to perform electromyography.  9, if there is an increase in blood pressure, it is also necessary to provide blood pressure at different times of the day (can be measured and recorded every 3-4 hours from morning to evening).  10.Other, if you have information from several years ago, you should also bring it along with you. If you have X-ray, MRI or CT film, it is better to prepare it for the doctor to ask for reference.  The above ten areas are underlined. We hope that patients will understand the importance of the above indicators of diabetes treatment and complications to the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, and that they will regularly review and provide relevant information as much as possible.
