As an endocrinologist, has anyone ever noticed that once a person is diagnosed with diabetes, what is one of the first concerns? What is the first thing that comes out of your mouth? If you think about it carefully, at least 80% of the patients’ first words are “Oh, is it that I can’t eat anything anymore?” It can be seen that the first thing that patients show is a psychological anxiety, worrying about the change of their life habits, the inconvenience of living in the future, and the difficulty of choosing the details of life such as diet and exercise in the future. This phenomenon shows that years of diabetes education have made patients aware of the important role of diet in the treatment of diabetes. But on the other hand, it also shows that our education for so many years has only made patients aware of the important role of diet control, but we still have not received very good results on how to choose diet specifically. The main way for diabetic patients to learn about diabetes is through the education of endocrinologists. As an endocrinologist, our understanding of diabetes can greatly affect our patients’ understanding of diabetes. What kind of education should we physicians receive? The five horses of diabetes treatment operate specifically on the patient. It may be as simple as “eat less staple foods”, “exercise more”, “make sure you monitor your blood sugar regularly”, etc. for the doctor, but for the patient, it may be What kind of staple food? How much is too much and how little is too little?” In the patient’s mind, the impression of “you can’t eat this or that” will be formed more often. This is especially true for blood glucose monitoring, where a word from our doctor is literally stuck in the patient’s fingertips. Therefore, we doctors should not just preach on the concept of diabetes education, but also on how to implement these measures so that patients can actually carry them out. First, we need to change from subtraction to addition. For example, in terms of diet, we can’t just tell patients what they can’t eat, but we can also offer more choices to patients and tell them what they can eat. For example, sugar-free sweeteners, healthy snacks with zero sugar, etc. Second, find ways to move from inconvenience to convenience. For example, the way of diabetes education, instead of always asking patients to review at the clinic, can make more use of the mobile Internet and other ways now. Third, from reverse human nature to conform to human nature. For example, blood glucose monitoring, fear of pain is human nature, according to the blood glucose level is it possible to appropriately reduce the number of monitoring, or we should contact more new things, to provide patients with more convenient testing equipment, such as instantaneous sensing blood glucose meter. In conclusion, health education for diabetic patients is not a one-sided preaching by doctors, nor is it endured by patients alone, but requires close cooperation between doctors and patients. We need to make diabetic patients change from being educated and managed to being understood and cared for, to improve our own vision and breadth of knowledge, and to provide real and comprehensive support to patients.
