Acute conditions are temporary, with some common examples including colds and flu. Chronic diseases are the opposite; they last at least a year and typically force you to change your daily activities.
Chronic conditions require consistent, ongoing medical care, whereas acute care may require just one or two appointments.
Chronic disease management helps people with long-term illnesses to cope with their condition in the best possible ways. Although a chronic disease isn’t curable, you can still do many things to feel and function better in your daily life.
Through chronic disease management, TRiiBE Medical LLC helps patients understand that chronic disease isn’t an end — it’s the beginning of a new healthier approach to life.
TRiiBE Medical LLC frequently manages chronic conditions such as:
You need professional guidance to maximize your health while living with your disease, so every chronic disease requires chronic disease management.
Chronic disease management approaches your disease from several angles, including:
Health monitoring is a crucial part of chronic disease management. Your health monitoring may include lab tests, physical exams, and routine self-monitoring.
For example, people with diabetes need to see their TRiiBE Medical LLC provider for regular check-ups and testing along with close blood sugar tracking at home.
With most chronic diseases, your lifestyle choices can impact your condition. Eating healthy, exercising regularly, weight management, and other changes can help to slow disease progression.
With some chronic conditions, lifestyle changes can even correct your health issues. For example, if you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, strategic changes could help you reach healthy cholesterol or blood pressure levels, possibly without medication.
Medication can work alongside health monitoring and lifestyle changes for effective chronic disease management.
Some of the medications for chronic disease management include preventive and symptom relief drugs, as well as life-sustaining medications such as insulin for Type 1 diabetes.
Acute care can be part of your chronic disease management as well. If your health suddenly changes or you have concerning new issues, see your TRiiBE Medical LLC provider for a thorough evaluation. They can diagnose and treat your acute problem while still effectively managing the underlying chronic disease.
