What do people think about Chinese medicine for diabetes?

I am a Western medical doctor with over 20 years of experience in treating diabetes, and I will briefly describe what I believe to be the relationship between Chinese medicine and diabetes.

It should be said that China's record of diabetes is still relatively early. In 1122 BC in the oracle bone inscriptions on the record "urine disease". More precisely, it is in the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", which has mentioned the symptoms of diabetes, called "thirst", diabetes is called thirst disease that comes from. Doctors at that time realized that this disease occurs in the aristocracy, the Han Emperor Liu Che is diabetic, the cause of the disease and eat more sweet and fat food related.

The diabetes mentioned in our ancient texts would all be type 2 diabetes in the modern classification. This is because type 1 diabetes did not survive past medical conditions, and there were very many children who died early in the past who may not have been documented or clearly diagnosed.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing's "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber" talked about diabetes, and began to record the symptoms of "three more and one less", and proposed to treat upper thirst with White Tiger Ginseng Soup, and lower thirst with Kidney Energy Pill, which was the first step in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Sui dynasty eunuchs described the symptoms, causes, and mechanisms of diabetes, and also recorded the complications of diabetes, including boils and diabetic nephropathy, lung infections, eye complications, and gangrene of the lower extremities.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Chinese medicine practitioners' understanding of thirst-quenching disease became deeper and deeper, and they paid attention to the identification and treatment of different causes of the disease by adopting different matching pharmacies, such as ginseng and white tiger soup, bamboo leaf gypsum soup, and mai men dong drink, etc., and six flavors of dihuang pills for tonifying the kidneys and jin gui ren qi pills for tonifying the kidneys, etc.. In addition to herbal treatment, lifestyle intervention for diabetes was also initiated, proposing diet and exercise treatment, "first one hundred and twenty steps, more than one thousand steps, then food."

Modern Chinese medicine has inherited these precious heritages and developed new features on this basis, with its unique advantages in the treatment of diabetic complications and diabetic dietary guidance. However, there are some people posing as Chinese medicine practitioners, pretending to be Chinese medicine practitioners, the so-called "pure Chinese medicine", "ancestral secret recipe", etc. containing sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agents of Western medicine hypoglycemic ingredients, which seem to be quite effective, but the price is very high, and the dosage is large, and the composition of the important unknown! Unknown side effects, may cause liver and kidney function damage or other damage.

The motherland medicine is profound and profound, and we expect that the real Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine will have a new inheritance and development in the treatment of diabetes, which will benefit the diabetes patients.

Thanks for the invitation.

Chinese medicine to identify and treat the disease, most can be clinically cured and cured, due to the physical problems of people, after the late stage can only maintain the treatment. Can not be generalized.

Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes (thirst), part of the folk mastered the disease of the drug, the cost is not high, the doctor and patient together, the effect of all happy.

Due to the decades of discontinuity in Chinese medicine, some people with lack of knowledge think it is a scam. It is recommended to know Chinese medicine correctly and believe in it.

Hi, Sanno Speak Sugar is happy to answer your questions!

Chinese medicine has a history of more than 2,000 years in the treatment of diabetes, and more studies have been conducted to date on the use of Chinese medicine to treat diabetes or diabetic complications. TCM treatment is suitable for early diabetic patients with slightly high blood glucose or abnormal glucose tolerance, and can be supplemented with TCM treatment on the basis of diet and exercise therapy.

There are no effective herbs or proprietary Chinese medicines that can lower sugar, but some Chinese medicines can improve the symptoms associated with diabetes, such as dry mouth and thirst, fatigue, numbness of the limbs and so on.Related Chinese medicine single herbs include Astragalus, Radix et Rhizoma Raw Earth, Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, Radix Panax Ginseng, Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, Fructus Lycii, Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, Radix et Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, Radix et Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, Dendrobium, etc.

There are also many proprietary Chinese medicines for the treatment of diabetes in clinical practice, such as hypoglycemic capsules, thirst-quenching pills, ginseng and astragalus hypoglycemic capsules and other proprietary Chinese medicines, which have a certain effect on the regulation of diabetes.

If the patient's blood glucose rises further and the pancreatic islet function declines further, it is recommended that the patient take a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat diabetes, and for patients whose blood glucose cannot be effectively controlled by dietary therapy, exercise therapy, or traditional Chinese medicine, it is recommended that oral hypoglycemic drugs be used for treatment.

It is also worth reminding everyone that diabetes can not be completely cured with traditional Chinese medicine, and it should be treated with different prescriptions according to the patient's symptoms, as well as different stages and different periods of time. You can't blindly believe in the biased prescriptions and panaceas that are circulating in the society.

There is no cure. Friends suffering from diabetes go to the Chinese medicine clinic to seek treatment, the Chinese medicine experts directly prescribed insulin, the use of insulin treatment for a period of time after the poor control of blood glucose, the transfer of Western medicine, only the use of small doses of hypoglycemic drugs blood glucose directly to the standard ...

thank you for your invitation

Reversing from the results, Western medicine is not reliable at all, or else there would not be more and more patients today, and this is all due to the fact that the front is not cured, and a steady stream of new ones are added to the back.

Western medicine is good at treating external injuries, but it really can't do anything about internal diseases. Look at the treatment methods of Western medicine: (1) control (2) replacement (3) inhibition; and then look at the treatment concepts of Western medicine and Chinese medicine is even worse than countless generation gap.

So many patients nowadays have gotten smart and don't believe in Western medicine and don't want to take it because you can't take it well.

But it must be said that many of the techniques of Western medicine are worthy of recognition, such as many advanced extraction techniques, etc. This is the direction of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, where you do the theory and direction, and I do the technical support.The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is the right posture to complement each other's strengths and make progress together.

This article throughout the hand-typed, each word is my hand-typed knocked out, so if you like my answer, then please like, pay attention to, forward, there are any questions welcome to comment or private letter, more diabetes, chronic disease information in this headline, your support is my biggest yards of power, thank you.

I think diabetic patients are mainly poor when their families were poor food is not nutritious, and now life is better eat too well, the first half of the arm and leg word did not Zhang thick, the second half of the life of the meat all the long in the waist and stomach, so most of the people who get this disease are middle obese type of people.

Absolutely not.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm not entirely sure how TCM cures diabetes. But what I have seen on the prescriptions through the ages is that the medicine is used in response to the evidence, and there is no curative component.

The treatment of diabetes by Chinese medicine, which has been developing particularly fast in the last 10 years or so, has jumped out of the traditional constraint of equating thirst-quenching disease with diabetes, considering thirst-quenching disease to be only a stage in the development of diabetes.

Chinese and Western medicine are not higher or lower than each other, it is more important to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses to enlighten each other. In the process of doing diabetes tea health, found that the Chinese and Western medicine are actually the same thing, only that their terminology and description is different. Good Western medicine, respect for Chinese medicine, good Chinese medicine, learning Western medicine, the two are not contradictory, nor incompatible.
