HT/DM/Other Disease Management

Nowadays, lifestyle diseases such as DM, HT, IHD, etc., have increased. Due to the rise in these types of lifestyle diseases, proper control and treatment of HT, DM, and other comorbidities are required. We have OPD twice every day along with a wide range of diagnostic tests.

If a second opinion is required, we have endocrinologists and diabetologists on our panel. We also have a full-time psychologist available for patient counseling whenever necessary.

Managing conditions like hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), and other chronic diseases involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medication adherence, regular monitoring, and healthcare provider guidance. Here are some approaches to managing these conditions:

Hypertension (HT):

• Medication Adherence:

  Taking prescribed medications regularly and as directed by your healthcare provider is crucial in managing hypertension.

• Lifestyle Changes:

  Adopting a low-sodium diet, reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress can help control blood pressure.

• Regular Monitoring:

  Regularly check blood pressure at home or at healthcare facilities to track changes and adjust treatment if necessary.

• Doctor's Visits:

  Follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to review your blood pressure levels, adjust medications if needed, and discuss any concerns.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM):

• Blood Sugar Monitoring:

  Regularly monitor blood sugar levels to ensure they’re within the target range set by your healthcare provider.

• Medication and Insulin Adherence:

  Take prescribed medications or insulin as directed, and manage other conditions like high cholesterol or high blood pressure that often accompany diabetes.

• Healthy Eating:

  Follow a balanced diet, monitor carbohydrate intake, and be mindful of portion sizes to control blood sugar levels.

• Regular Exercise:

  Engage in physical activity regularly, as it helps improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.

• Foot and Eye Care:

  Regularly inspect and care for your feet to prevent complications and get regular eye exams to monitor for diabetic retinopathy.

Other Chronic Diseases:

For other chronic diseases, management often involves a similar approach:

• Medication Adherence:

  Take prescribed medications as directed by your healthcare provider.

• Lifestyle Modifications:

  Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, manage stress, and avoid habits that exacerbate the condition.

• Regular Monitoring:

  Schedule regular check-ups and screenings to monitor the progression of the disease and adjust treatment accordingly.

• Education and Support:

  Learn about your condition, understand its progression, and seek support from healthcare professionals or support groups.

Overall, the key to managing these conditions is a combination of medical intervention, lifestyle modifications, regular monitoring, and collaboration with healthcare providers to ensure effective disease management and reduce the risk of complications.
