Many people think that seeing a doctor is to go to the hospital and find one, and the patient himself does not seem to need to do anything. This understanding is actually incomplete. Doctors from the medical history, physical examination, until the clinical diagnosis, the whole process of prescribing specific drugs need the cooperation of patients, which is a process of interaction between doctors and patients, the process is smooth and the patient’s performance also has a close relationship. Therefore, patients need to do a little preparation before visiting the hospital to better cooperate with the doctor during the consultation in order to obtain the best treatment results. Specifically, the following details should be noted. 1. Determine the main purpose of the visit. Why do you want to go to the hospital? Is it because of uncomfortable symptoms? Or is the blood sugar fluctuating too much? Or do you want to go to the hospital for a systematic examination? It is best to organize these questions and record them so that you will not be at a loss for words when facing the doctor. Many patients finish picking up their medication, or return home only to remember: “There is one more thing I forgot to tell the doctor.” You see, how delayed this is. A good memory is better than a bad pen. By recording your current major health problems and the main purpose of your hospital visit before you go to the hospital, you can avoid a similar situation. 2, organize the information related to the disease. One is the usual record of blood glucose and blood pressure monitoring results, you can make a table in chronological order and mark the too high and too low blood glucose values with a red and blue pencil, if you can recall the relevant reasons is the best, can be noted on the back. Then, other recent laboratory test results should be organized according to categories and chronological order, and some important test results with a longer period of time may also be brought along for backup. This information is very useful for the doctor to determine the condition and also helps to avoid duplication of tests. Don’t forget to bring your previous medical records, which record your condition at the time and the tests and medications prescribed by your doctor. 3. Record the name (trade name and chemical name), dosage and method of the medication you are taking. You can also take the instructions or the outer packaging of the medication with you. Many patients are still unable to say the name of the medication they are taking, even though they have been taking it for years. The doctor will certainly ask during the visit, “What medication are you taking now? How did you take it?” Knowing the medications you are taking and your usual blood sugar level, the doctor can determine whether your current glucose-lowering regimen is reasonable and effective and whether it needs to be adjusted. If you do not say clearly, the doctor can only re-prescribe drugs, one is easy to cause the waste of drugs, but more importantly, prolong the process of determining the appropriate treatment plan for you. 4. It is best not to eat breakfast on the day of the visit. If you have not been to the hospital for a long time to review, it is possible that some laboratory tests will be required when you arrive at the hospital, so it is best to choose to go to the hospital in the morning, and it is best not to eat breakfast. You can bring breakfast and glucose-lowering medication, eat in time after the blood draw, and can guard against hypoglycemia. Those who are injecting insulin should pay special attention when visiting the doctor in summer and winter. If you need to carry insulin with you, you should avoid exposing insulin to high temperature or low temperature environment (below zero) for too long to avoid deterioration and failure of insulin. You can keep an insulated bag at home for use when you go out. Those who are taking antihypertensive and crown-expanding drugs can take their medication normally in the morning, and a few sips of water will not affect the test results much. It is recommended that patients take their normal antihypertensive medication because they need to travel long distances to see a doctor and the hospital environment is relatively noisy, so they are mostly nervous and their blood pressure can easily rise. If you pay attention to the above-mentioned details, you will be able to deal with the doctor calmly and cooperate with him/her better, and the whole process of treatment will be smoother, saving treatment time and improving the efficiency of the doctor, while fully realizing the purpose of your visit and improving the quality of treatment, thus promoting your physical and mental health.
