What are the basic diabetic outpatient tests?

  1, blood sugar situation: it is best to have the usual monitoring of blood sugar record book, it is necessary to emphasize that try to do more points (blood sugar spectrum) monitoring. Some patients have been diabetic for many years, but they are not sure how to monitor their blood glucose, some only check fasting blood glucose, some only check postprandial blood glucose. The significance of multi-point blood glucose monitoring is to get a comprehensive understanding of the blood glucose situation at all times of the day so that the doctor can better evaluate the treatment plan. Therefore, it is recommended to check fasting and 2 hours after three meals (postprandial blood glucose is recorded from the beginning of meal), and it is better to monitor blood glucose profile 2 days a week during the program adjustment process.  2. Glycated hemoglobin: Venous blood can be drawn at any time to help assess the average level of blood glucose over the past 2-3 months. For patients who cannot monitor blood glucose frequently, this item can be checked regularly in the outpatient clinic to help assess the effect of treatment.  3. Liver and kidney function: The main purpose of the examination is to ensure the safety of long-term medication. The liver and kidney are the main organs involved in drug metabolism. If liver and kidney insufficiency reaches a certain level, insulin treatment is needed.  4, blood pressure and blood lipids: these two and blood sugar together are called the three highs. Although the ease of treatment of the three indicators are different, but the significance of treatment is almost equally important.  5, urine routine urine microalbumin: urine routine mainly observes urine sugar, urine protein, urine ketone bodies; urine microalbumin is mainly to help detect early diabetic nephropathy, the current detection method has been simplified to retain the random urine.  6. Fundus: The examination is assisted by ophthalmology in order to detect diabetic retinopathy, and is now also a routine outpatient examination.  Through the above examinations, the doctor will have an objective understanding of the patient’s condition. The final treatment plan will then be formulated taking into account the individual’s special circumstances: for example, which medications are intolerant, which medications have adverse effects, which serious diseases are combined, etc.
