Diabetes mellitus is known as thirst-quenching in Chinese medicine.

It refers to diseases with symptoms of polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, and is categorized into three types: upper, middle and lower elimination.

The Compendium of Evidence-based Treatments: "Those with upper elimination are those with the heart, who drink too much and eat too little, have bowel movements as usual, and drown too much and too often. In the center, the spleen is also affected. He is thirsty and hungry, can eat but is thin, and his bowels are red and closed. In the lower part of the body, the kidneys are also affected. When the essence is dried up and the marrow is exhausted, water is drawn to save the body, and then the body drowns, which is thick and cloudy like paste."

The so-called on the elimination, is the lightest, Yin deficiency fire exuberant inflammation on the evidence, tonifying the kidney to calm the heart fire, kidney water enough, the heart fire can be restrained, you can improve the symptoms of thirst. This time to eat appropriate light point can be.

The middle elimination is for the spleen deficiency, damp and cold downstream, the lower jiao is not smooth, so the heart fire roasted stomach and intestines, fast fast elimination of food, sweating steam like rain,, the heart fire is exuberant, the flow of injection in the lower, so the urine is red, the large intestine fluid production and development of too fast, so constipation is serious. This should first open the lower focus, dietary restraint, diet more vegetables containing high fiber food, and warm spleen and stomach food.
