I have hypertension. When do I need chronic disease management?

You may benefit from chronic disease management as soon as you find out you have hypertension. Chronic disease management teaches you about your illness and the treatments that can improve it.

The team also provides medication management, ensuring you find the right medication and dose for your disease and monitor its effectiveness over time, making appropriate adjustments.

Lifestyle changes are also part of the management plan for long-term health conditions. This may include weight loss, diet modifications, and regular exercise. Making lifestyle changes may reduce your need for medication to treat your condition.

However, the team schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor your health and provide the appropriate education. They may also ask you to track objective data at home, such as your blood pressure or blood glucose, so they can get a more accurate picture of how your daily routine affects your health and disease.
