Diabetic Wellness Centre approach
- PRE-DIABETIC PATIENTS need a diabetes prevention programme that includes healthy dietary changes and an exercise programme as well as close monitoring to prevent disease progression
- DIABETIC PATIENTS need comprehensive care to understand and manage their disease properly. They need information about day-to-day processes (how to check the sugar, what ingredients to choose, what plate to order, when to take the medicine etc.) They will therefore be followed by a “primary team” of a diabetes educator, dietician, primary physicians and podiatrist.
- GESTATIONAL DIABETIC PATIENTS (Diabetes in pregnancy) need close monitoring of glycemia during pregnancy and education on a low-carbohydrate nutritious diet to achieve good pregnancy outcomes. More so, they need follow-up post-delivery to ensure resolution of diabetes and prevention of recurrence in the coming years.
The aim of the programme is to try to decrease the burden of a chronic disease and provide patients with a team that can listen to them, educate them, support them, control their sugar and most importantly ensure that they are “well” and “healthy”.
