Can I take creams for diabetes?

  Paste prescription is a valuable heritage of Chinese medicine, which is a different prescription established on the basis of large compound soup under the guidance of the principle of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine and according to different physical conditions and manifestations of people. Chinese medicine is decocted thickly and mixed with certain excipients to make a thick semi-liquid or frozen dosage form. It is becoming more and more popular among patients because of its high drug concentration, small volume, stable medicinal properties, no need to decoct when taking, good taste and easy to carry.  However, many people believe that Chinese medicine prescriptions are for health and are only suitable for subhealth conditioning, and may not have a good therapeutic effect on those who are really sick; others believe that creams can only be used for deficiency, and cannot be used for mixed deficiency; diabetic patients believe that creams have both sugar and wine in their supplements, and should not be taken. Is this really the case?  For diabetic patients, the excipients generally do not use icing sugar and white sugar, so as not to cause a rise in blood sugar. You can use stevia, xylitol, abasthin, sweetener, etc. The choice of gum to collect the paste, when the sexual cooling of the turtle plate gum, turtle shell gum is better, tend to be Yin and Yang deficiency of people can be combined with a neutral warm gum.  On the one hand, the yellow wine in the ointment formula facilitates the dissolution of the gums and relieves the fishy taste, and most of the alcohol evaporates during the preparation of the ointment; on the other hand, for diabetic patients with blood stasis evidence throughout, a very small amount of yellow wine every day can play a role in activating blood circulation, which is essentially different from long-term consumption of large amounts of beer and white wine.  To sum up, poultices can be tailored to the different conditions of each diabetic patient, making individualized prescriptions to improve the quality of life, stabilize blood sugar, and prevent or delay the occurrence and development of diabetic complications.
