Not caring for yourself when you have a chronic health problem could have devastating effects. For example, poor diabetes management increases your risk of:
Conditions that cause no symptoms, like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, don’t affect your daily life like many chronic diseases. However, when they reach an advanced stage, you could suffer a life-threatening heart attack or stroke. Chronic disease management helps you avoid these dangers and even reverse the existing damage.
Whatever condition you have, the chronic disease management experts at Roseville Family Healthcare reduce your risk of severe disease and significantly improve your everyday quality of life.
Every Roseville Family Healthcare patient receives a customized chronic disease management plan built around their unique needs. Your plan considers your age, genetics, environment, lifestyle, medical history, and current health problems.
Your chronic disease management plan will likely include any regular tests you need, such as blood sugar monitoring tests for diabetes or an electrocardiogram (EKG) if you have heart disease. Some tests everyone has, like blood pressure measurement; others are only necessary for specific conditions, like diabetic foot care.
Medication management is also vital to ensure your prescriptions are current, beneficial, and not causing side effects. Many patients benefit from nutrition counseling, help with weight loss and quitting smoking, managing stress, and other ways to lead healthier lives. The team also supports your mental health, which can often suffer when you have a chronic disease.
