Diabetic patients should prepare before visiting or consulting

  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.  This will help your doctor to determine your current treatment plan and will help him or her to make a new treatment plan for you based on this. 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 routine as usual (regular diet and exercise, etc.), and there is no change in medication, and there is no pathological condition in the body.  4, urine routine, urine specific protein (a urine, do not have to be early morning urine), 5, such as chest tightness, etc., but also need to carry out electrocardiography (sent chest tightness at the time the best, such as the conditions, can also provide asymptomatic electrocardiogram) 6, ophthalmology for fundus examination 7, such as lower limb numbness, pain, etc., but also need to check the lower limb artery ultrasound, can also include carotid ultrasound 8, neurology electromyography, such as numbness at the end of the extremities 9, if there is an increase in blood pressure, you also need to provide the blood pressure at different times of the day (can be measured and recorded every 3-4 hours from morning to evening) 10, other, such as a few years ago, should also be brought along with the information, such as X-rays, MRI or CT films, it is best to also prepare for the doctor to request reference.  The above ten areas are highlighted with underlines. I hope that patients can understand the importance of the above indicators of diabetes treatment and complications to the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, so that they can regularly review and provide relevant information as much as possible. We hope that you will understand the importance of the above indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, and that you will review them regularly and provide as much relevant information as possible.
