Western medicine and Chinese medicine each have their own strengths in the treatment of diabetes, and the different strengths of each of these two types of medicine should be utilized to achieve glycemic reduction, improve symptoms and reduce complications. Many of the complications that occur in diabetes are caused by unsatisfactory long-term blood glucose control, and to improve the complications one must get the blood glucose to a desirable range. Western medicine is certainly effective in lowering blood sugar. Chinese medicine in lowering blood sugar than Western medicine, it should be said that the strength can not reach, but in the early and mid-term through Chinese medicine intervention, the patient will have appropriate blood sugar reduction, including in the stabilization of blood sugar also has its own advantages. 1, Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes in favor of early intervention Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes is based on different clinical manifestations, different moss and pulse conditions to identify the use of drugs. If there are 100 diabetic patients, Western medicine cannot escape from 5 or 6 types of hypoglycemic drugs, while Chinese medicine is not covered by 5 or 6 types of drugs at all. An experienced doctor will identify each patient’s essence, qi, spirit, heat and cold, deficiency, the function of the five internal organs, qi, blood, yin and yang, and so on, based on the different symptoms, signs, tongue and pulse of each patient. Diabetes is definitely not just a matter of lowering blood sugar to 5.0 or 6.0 and then the world will be at peace, because a drop in blood sugar index does not mean that all the functions of your internal organs are normal. The advantage of using Chinese medicine to regulate the dysfunction of the body is that it will have a relative control on the development of chronic complications, and early intervention with Chinese medicine can also delay or reduce the complications appropriately. The use of Western medicine to control blood glucose indicators, and then use Chinese medicine to improve the function of the internal organs, so that both the blood glucose standard, but also to stop and delay the occurrence of complications, so that the quality of life greatly improved. 2.There is a gradual process of understanding and perfecting the identification and typing of diabetes in Chinese medicine. In Chinese medical literature, the disease of thirst is often divided into upper, middle and lower extremes. The main symptom of upper extinction is thirsty drinking, dry mouth and dry tongue; the main symptom of middle extinction is excessive eating and easy hunger, emaciation and dry stools; the main symptom of lower extinction is frequent urination and large amount of urine like grease. This typing method is somewhat one-sided, because clinically the symptoms of “three more and one less” are not distinctly separated, but often exist simultaneously, sometimes with different degrees of severity, and some even without symptoms. In the article of “The Heart of Medicine? It is said in the chapter of “The Three Disasters” that “those who treat the upper disorders should moisten their lungs and clear their stomachs”, “those who treat the middle disorders should clear their stomachs and nourish their kidneys”, and “those who treat the lower disorders should nourish their kidneys and nourish their lungs”. This is the major method of treating diabetes in Chinese medicine. 3, the unique features of Chinese medicine for the treatment of diabetes Chinese medicine comprehensive therapy for the treatment of diabetes and its complications, with stable efficacy, no adverse reactions, regulate the internal environment of the body, improve the body, reduce insulin resistance, regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, adjust the body immune and other advantages, in the prevention and treatment of light and medium-sized diabetes occupies a certain advantage, especially for the treatment of complications of diabetes is effective. The main clinical symptoms of diabetes mellitus are polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria, sugar in the urine and body wasting. Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly due to the greed for alcohol and wine, internal heat and dryness, the consumption of grain and injury to the body, resulting in Yin deficiency and dryness and heat, resulting in thirst, involving the lungs, spleen (stomach) and kidneys. The main treatment is to nourish yin, clear heat and generate fluid, and to complement the evidence with methods such as benefiting qi, consolidating astringency, warming yang and invigorating blood.
