Abstract

Objective: To investigate the professional knowledge of blood glucose prevention and control and the management of primary doctors and diabetic patients in Zhijin County, and to analyze the investigation results. Methods: From March 2021 to June 2021, doctors and patients with diabetes who were treated in township and community service centers in Zhijin County were selected and analyzed through a unified questionnaire survey. Results: Among 149 physicians surveyed, 50.3% knew the treatment norms of type 2 diabetes, and 85.9% of them could not give correct answers about the indications and contraindications of various hypoglycemic drugs. 41% of them still believed that insulin was addictive. According to the effective questionnaire survey of 982 primary diabetic patients, 91.1% of the patients had complications of different degrees, while only 36.7% of the patients clearly knew their blood sugar control goals, and 50.8% of the patients even used various health care products, secret recipes, folk remedies, etc., which are said to be able to treat diabetes. 12.0% of patients lost confidence in life. Conclusion: The clinical knowledge and comprehensive prevention and treatment ability of primary doctors in Zhijin County are still at a relatively low level. It is urgent to select systematic, targeted and practical knowledge training to improve the level of diabetes prevention and control of grass-roots doctors.
