WHY SHOULD HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WORK WITH US?

INFORMATION PRESCRIPTIONS

Why do we need information prescriptions? It is estimated that around 95% of diabetes care is self management 1 A study from 2002 showed of 4000 patients prescribed metformin only 65% were taking the medication as prescribed 1 year later 2 For patients prescribed more than one drug (metformin and Sulphonylurea) that falls to 44% 2 Non-adherence in chronic diseases averages 50% by 1 year 3 1.Wagner, EH Groves, T.

Why b lood pressure, cholesterol and HbA1c ? 1.People are not controlling these factors – Type 1 diabetes only 16% met all three targets 4 – Type 2 diabetes only 37% meet all three targets 4 2. Poor control has devastating consequences – “heart failure emerges as both the most common and the most deadly cardiovascular complication of diabetes... High blood pressure is an important risk factor for heart failure” 5 3. We can do something about them – Lifestyle changes and routine drugs e.g. statins 4.
