Fulltext PDFDiabetic cardiovascular disease, diabetic cerebrovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic lower limb arteriopathy, Diabetic Foot (DF) are common chronic complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). According to the WHO definition, neuropathy and peripheral vascular lesions are essential factors for the occurrence of Diabetic Foot (DF). Therefore, the common chronic complications of DM were classified as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and DF. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of DM complications are scattered in the departments of endocrinology, vascular surgery, nephrology and cardiovascular disease. With the extension of the course of DM patients, the complications of heart, brain, kidney, eye and foot appear one after another. At present, in terms of the current situation of the management and intervention of complications, no disease is in the community management, mild patients go to community hospitals or secondary hospitals, and severe patients go to the tertiary hospital for diagnosis and treatment. After the symptoms are relieved or effective control of the disease, they still need to go back to the community, presenting the current situation that community management is more important than hospital treatment. However, the specialized and decentralized diagnosis and treatment and even multidisciplinary cooperation in tertiary hospitals cannot improve the treatment efficiency, so it is particularly important to explore the new third-level diagnosis and treatment model benefiting DM patients. This study proposes a Diabetes Life Cycle (DWLC) integrated prevention and treatment management system to improve the comprehensive intervention ability of community DM complications, strengthen the centralized treatment ability of DM complications in secondary hospitals, and smooth the transfer of severe complications to tertiary hospitals. This model emphasizes the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, community prevention, secondary integrated treatment and rehabilitation, and tertiary severe intervention. The prevention and rehabilitation management system (prevention-treatmentrehabilitation- rehabilitation) emphasizes the middle and west, giving full play to the advantages of integrated Chinese and western medicine with Chinese characteristics to improve the quality of life of DM patients.
