Long-Term Diabetes Follow-Up Program

Long-Term Diabetes Follow-Up Program at SND Hospital

Diabetes is a marathon, not a sprint. To prevent complications and maintain a high quality of life, consistency is key. At SND Multispeciality Hospital, our Long-Term Follow-Up Program is designed to keep you on track, ensuring no aspect of your health is overlooked.

1. Diabetes Patient Record Card

Every patient in our program receives a personalized Diabetes Patient Record Card. This serves as your “health passport.”

Consolidated Data: It tracks your medications, recent test results, and doctor’s notes in one place.
Emergency Safety: In case of a medical emergency, this card provides vital information to healthcare providers about your condition and current treatments.

2. Regular Monitoring of Sugar, BP, and Weight

Stable blood sugar is only one part of the equation. We take a holistic approach by monitoring the “Triple Threat”:

Sugar Tracking: Reviewing your home glucose logs to identify patterns and adjust medications.
Blood Pressure (BP) Control: High BP puts extra strain on diabetic kidneys and hearts. We aim for optimal targets (usually below 130/80 mmHg).
Weight Management: Tracking your BMI and waist-to-hip ratio to ensure your metabolic health is improving.

3. HbA1c Reminder Every 3 Months

The HbA1c test is the “gold standard” for measuring long-term control. Because red blood cells live for about 3 months, testing every quarter is essential.

Automated Reminders: Patients in our program receive timely SMS or call reminders when their next HbA1c test is due.
Proactive Adjustments: Regular 3-month reviews allow us to catch rising trends before they lead to symptoms or complications.
