At present, the clinical treatment of type 1 diabetes is still mainly based on insulin treatment, and Chinese medicine treatment is only used as an auxiliary means.
Most patients with type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin replacement, and if they stop taking the medication on their own, they may have an increased risk of ketoacidosis, so they can generally drink some Chinese medicines in moderation when their blood glucose is under stable control.
However, Chinese medicine treatment generally only plays a supplementary effect, and cannot play a role in treating or curing type 1 diabetes mellitus; therefore, it is not recommended to completely replace the relevant insulin with Chinese medicine treatment, so as to avoid inducing serious adverse consequences.
Therefore, if Chinese medicine is taken to regulate or treat type 1 diabetes, it is also based on the use of insulin. If you feel unwell, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time.
