The care of diabetes patients is a comprehensive and detailed process involving multiple aspects of management and intervention. The following are the main elements of care for diabetes patients:
Dietary management: Diabetes patients need to strictly control diets to avoid high sugar, fat and hot foods, to keep regular diets, to maintain a balanced diet, to increase the intake of vegetables and vegetables, and to limit the intake of fat and sugar to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
Drug management: Patients are required to take drugs or inject insulin on time and to observe the side effects of drugs. The caregiver should guide the patient to the correct use of the drug and avoid changing the dose or taking out the drug.
Blood sugar monitoring: periodic monitoring of blood sugar levels, understanding of blood sugar conditions and providing a basis for dietary and motor adjustment. Patients should record blood sugar readings, medication schedules, diet and exercise so that doctors can identify potential problems.
Sport management: Momentary exercise helps control blood sugar and improves body metabolic levels, but high-intensity motion is avoided to prevent low blood sugar. Before and after exercise, blood sugar is checked and glucose tablets or carbohydrates are carried.
Psychological support: Diabetes patients are prone to negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, caregiver attention to the patient ‘ s psychological state, psychological counselling, confidence-building and optimism.
Foot care: Diabetes patients are vulnerable to injury to their feet and therefore require special attention to foot care. Use warm water to wash feet on a daily basis, avoid wearing too tight shoes and socks, and regularly check for water bubbles, cut cuts or other changes in the feet and process them in a timely manner.
Skin care: Keep the skin clean and dry and avoid skin damage due to friction. Diabetes patients are less able to heal their skin and therefore need to change their underwear, keep their skin clean and prevent infection.
Regular review: periodic hospital review, including examination of indicators such as blood sugar, blood resin, kidney function, as well as ophthalmological and neurological examination to detect and treat complications in a timely manner.
Health education: Caregiver should provide patients with information about diabetes, improve their self-management capacity, help them understand disease-related knowledge, and promote self-health awareness.
The above care measures can be effective in helping patients with diabetes to control their condition, prevent complications and improve their quality of life.
