“Sugar Dispenser” in Shanghai-aid Fangcang: Zhejiang Medical Care Resolves “Sweet” Troubles

Chinanews.com, Hangzhou, May 19 (Zhang Yuhuan and Cui Qianxian) came to Shanghai Lingang Fangcai Hospital since March 30. Huang Hong, deputy director of the Department of Endocrinology of Zhejiang Hospital I have been fighting here for more than 40 days with my teammates. Since there are some diabetic patients in the square cabin, or some patients have the phenomenon of increased blood sugar, in addition to daily care for the patients, Huang Hong and his teammates also act as “sugar adjusters” to solve this “sweet” trouble for the patients.

According to national standards, the upper limit of the common peripheral blood glucose meter detection is 33.3mmol/L, which is 4 to 5 times the high blood sugar value of normal people. Huang Hong said that if the patient’s blood sugar is higher than the upper limit of detection, the blood glucose meter will display the English “High” (high), and the blood sugar “burst meter” warning means that the patient is facing acute complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic hyperosmolarity Sexual coma, etc., can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Huang Hong said that in the stage of opening the cabin, the blood sugar of each batch of new patients often reached a critical value or even “High”. In order to allow each patient to receive standardized treatment, she and another endocrinologist in the medical team, combined with the conditions at the time, formulated the diagnosis and treatment process for patients with hyperglycemia in the square cabin, and quickly trained other non-endocrinology medical staff in the medical team to pass the standardized process. To achieve homogenous management within the team, solve the management problem of hyperglycemia, and also take into account the quality of blood sugar management and medical safety.

“Emotional fluctuations will have a certain impact on blood sugar, especially for patients in the cabin, so we must first let them feel our care.” One day Huang Hong learned that a patient A patient with type 2 diabetes for 15 years was worried because the amount of insulin he brought with him was only two days, so he immediately explained and communicated with the patient patiently and gave a suitable hypoglycemic treatment plan. After stabilizing the mood, the patient’s blood sugar slowly dropped.

There is also a patient whose blood sugar is usually well controlled. The glycated hemoglobin was measured at 6.5% just a month ago. Huang Hong asked the nurse on duty to test the patient. Blood sugar before dinner, showed 6.8mmol/l. “I’m relieved now.” Huang Hong suggested to the patient that since his condition was not serious, he could use other hypoglycemic drugs of the same type spared in the cabin instead, and test his blood sugar more.

It is understood that the use of the Fangcang hyperglycemia management model has solved the pain points and difficulties of many diabetic patients. Under the homogenization treatment, the condition of many hyperglycemic patients has gradually stabilized.

“What we look forward to most is that the patient will recover and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. Although it is only a few days of company, but in the days of waiting for the flowers to bloom, we have left a lot of warm and unforgettable memories. Memories.” Huang Hong said. (End)
