Helping Diabetes with High-Tech Care: A Hospital's New Approach

Hexi, ChinaSun Jan 26 2025
Handling type 2 diabetes isn't just about popping pills. It's about living healthier. That's why Zhang Ye People's Hospital tried something new. They used the Omaha System to help patients online. For five months, they split patients into two groups: those who got this new help and those who didn't. After a month and three months, the ones with the new help did better. They managed their diabetes better, thought more about it, and their blood sugar levels improved. They also stuck to their diet and treatment plans better. But did this really make a big difference? Let's find out how this can help people with type 2 diabetes in the long run. People with type 2 diabetes need more than just medicine. They need to change their lives. The hospital wanted to see if using computers and nurses together could help. They called this the "Internet+" nursing model. Over five months, they watched patients with this model and patients without it. Patients with the new model did better in managing their diabetes, thinking about it, and even had better blood sugar levels. They also followed their diets and treatment plans better. But is this a real game-changer? We need to see how it helps in the long run. Diabetes isn't just a health problem. It's a lifestyle challenge. The hospital decided to try something new. They mixed computers with nursing care. They called this new way the "Internet+" nursing model. For five months, they looked at patients with and without this model. Patients with the new model had better diabetes control, thought more about it, and had better blood sugar levels. They also stuck to their diets and treatments more. But is this a long-term solution? Let's explore how effective it can be.
