Risk Factor Management can prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes
Diabetes office visit " fixing the 9 "
*CREATED BY David Calder MD to
provide an always at your finger tips comprehensive diabetes management
tool , that will simplify your diabetes care and help you preserve your
good health.
Diabetes control is more than just controlling blood glucose levels.
Heart disease and
stroke risk is increased for people with diabetes and is the number one
cause of disability and death for people with and without diabetes.
This does not have to happen, It is your choice. Chose wisely.
Over 36 million people in the United States with diabetes have 9 primary risk factors to manage. ( just numbers ) I did not include smokers or older age which are also major risk factors
One study found that only 7% of
people with diabetes achieve target goals for A1c, Cholesterol and blood
pressure. (JAMA 2004; 291:335-342, a recent update in 2010 showed an
improvement to 11%)
Diabetes Office Visit can significantly improve those numbers by simplifying risk management to managing 9 numbers.
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
Simple and Specific Goals Empower each of us to do better
Start Simple, Set Goals
Initially, you don’t have to know
what the numbers mean to affect them.You just need to learn the targets
and what levers to pull to move your numbers toward the target. The
first lever to pull is learning how to discuss the Lab values with your
doctor. The Diabetes Office visit suite empowers you to have that
conversation.
Remember : “ You fail to achieve 100% of the goals you don’t set “
Remember : “ You fail to achieve 100% of the goals you don’t set “
Be Specific
Diabetes Office Visit provides the
goals and a patient-focused template for a conversation with your
doctor about your goals. The point is to focus each conversation on the
specific goals where you are not hitting the target.
Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.
Over time, repeated conversations about your lab values create opportunities for you to learn how to better manage this disease.
Our goal is to empower you to gain
understanding of this disease over time and actively partner with your
health care provider to manage it.
Fixing the Nine, Why it Works
Correcting just one risk factor is already proven effective !
The Heart Protection Study,focused on LDL cholesterol over a 5 year
period and prevented a major vascular event in 70 to 100 people per
1000. A key finding was that regardless of whether you do or don’t have
diabetes, and whether you do or don’t have heart disease, you benefit
from treating one risk factor for heart disease.
Correcting a few more cardiovascular risk factors saves lives...
For example Blood Pressure control reduces the risk of heat disease and stroke among people with diabetes by 33 to 50 percent.
Preserve your good health. “Fixing the nine” will work for you.
