Why does prevention still lead to diabetic foot?

  In my practice for so long, I have found that for diabetic complications of foot ulcers, there are only two things that can be done to significantly reduce the amputation rate and mortality of diabetic foot: prevention and multidisciplinary joint treatment. Today we will briefly talk about what problems exist in daily prevention.  First of all, prevention has become an empty word because we do not know about diabetes and its complications, we do not know the early symptoms, we seldom do screening, and so on. We all talk about prevention all the time, but we don’t know what to do or how to do it, and we don’t know what to do, which leads to complications in many patients.  Patients and their families are responsible for these problems, and we medical professionals are also responsible. In the future, our medical staff should do a good job of popularizing and educating people about diabetes and its complications, using various forms, such as special lectures, charity clinics, patient activities, etc., to improve people’s overall understanding of diabetes and its complications. Patients and family members are the first link of prevention, and only if there are no loopholes in them, prevention can be really good.  When it comes to the doctor, you can’t just write a prescription for the patient’s current problem, and then the two won’t intersect again. Doctors need to change the phenomenon of “one minute to look after a patient”, to care about the patient’s life, pay attention to their psychological control of sugar, how they usually do, what is the expected effect, try to make a prediction, and advise the patient when to do which tests. If people feel that it is not necessary, then doctors also need to have patience and tell them the necessity, I think as long as the doctor is patient, it must be useful.  Then in the patient should also correct the past understanding, especially not to take for granted that the emergence of early symptoms is a necessary problem for the elderly, thus neglecting to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment, and even the appearance of trauma also do not go to the hospital, think that smear some anti-inflammatory drugs to play some anti-inflammatory injection can be good, are infected still do not go to the hospital. We should know how serious diabetic foot is, do not always think that the doctor is to make you spend more money before suggesting that we go to the hospital, the vast majority of doctors starting point is still for the good of patients.  In conclusion, in order to do a good job of prevention, in addition to the development of specific methods and measures, it is very critical that we all change our mindset, the correct understanding of diabetes and complications, medical and nursing collaboration to do a good job of prevention. I believe that after this will be able to prevent the diabetic foot well.
