Chronic disease management (CDM) is a comprehensive approach to treating and managing chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma. It involves working with a healthcare team, including a primary care physician, to create a personalized treatment plan and set goals for managing the condition. The end goal is to improve the patients standard of living.
Diabetes care involves managing blood sugar levels to prevent complications and maintain overall health. The main goal of diabetes care is to keep blood sugar levels within a target range, which can be achieved through a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
An asthma action plan is a personalised plan that is created by a healthcare provider to help people with asthma manage their condition. The plan includes information about the triggers that can cause an asthma attack, as well as steps to take to prevent or treat an attack.
