Care For Chronic Illnesses (Long-term Illnesses): Diabetes, Stroke Etc.

Chronic illness is another way to refer to long term illness. They are different from

short illnesses in many ways. Take diabetes for instance. Treatment for diabetes is not usually meant to produce a cure. Rather, treatment aims to manage the

condition.

Proper management allows the patient to live as normally as possible. But proper management may also involve difficult changes for both the patient and his or her

family.

Key Areas in Care for Chronic Illnesses and Conditions

Proper management of chronic illness involves several things.

Education of the patient and the family makes them more informed. This helps them to take correct decisions in areas related to the illness and other that are not

directly connected to it. But that’s not all.

Often the patient has to take medication to manage the condition. In addition to medication, there may be other medical procedures such as physiotherapy prescribed for

the illness.

Both the patient and the family must co-operate to maintain the schedule of treatment. This also means regular contact with doctors and other professionals involved.

Patients with chronic illness must keep in touch with their doctors. Ordinarily, visiting the doctor at the appointed time is enough. During a visit, medical tests may

also be required. They usually reveal deeper details about your condition to the doctor.

Your doctor must also be informed of extraordinary events. Sometimes, unexpected changes to a patient’s condition may happen.

This can lead to an emergency visit to the hospital. It’s important that your doctor is updated fully about what happened including all treatment given.
