Disease Management Services
Disease management is an approach to healthcare that teaches patients how to manage a chronic disease. Patients learn to take responsibility for understanding how to take care of themselves to avoid potential problems or exacerbation, or worsening, of their health problem. Many diseases and conditions cannot be cured by existing medical treatments. When a medical problem can't be cured or healed, then the GKM provider's goal is to manage it to make sure both the patient's longevity and quality of life are maximized by effectively managing the problem.
**Diabetes is one example of a disease that can be effectively managed with a GKM provider. With regular collaboration between the patient and the GKM provider, the patients are empowered to manage their diabetes by controlling blood sugar and insulin levels, learning proper nutrition, and regular physical activity.
