How to identify the real and fake “sugar lowering Chinese medicine”

  There are often businesses in the market and pharmacies that sell fake drugs under the guise of “sugar-lowering herbs”. If you are deceived, you will lose not only money, but also your pancreatic function and early treatment time.  Some people peddle “sugar-lowering flour”, “sugar-free flour”, “sugar-free cookies” and other sugar-lowering foods, which are purely “fooling “The elderly patients. First of all, sugar reduction is impossible, unless the addition of sugar-lowering Western medicine; secondly, there is no absolute sugar-free, the main component of maltose in starch by digestion and absorption or to become glucose, so that, as long as the food made of starch, are not “sugar-free”.  A. And then say “drugs”. Most glucose-lowering drugs are said to be purely herbal ingredients, which have a miraculous effect of lowering sugar and no side effects. The advantage of Chinese medicine in treating diabetes does not lie in the magnitude of its sugar reduction, but in its role of preventing chronic complications. Patients do have a good effect after using it, and even hypoglycemic symptoms such as panic and sweating can occur, which just means that there are sugar-lowering western drugs in the medicine, usually joined by glibenclamide. The harm of adding western medicine and having hypoglycemia is that: 1. It promotes the failure of pancreatic islet cells, resulting in the secondary failure of oral medicine, and finally only insulin can be used to lower sugar; 2. Repeated hypoglycemia will gradually aggravate heart and brain damage, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, brain infarction and brain atrophy, with irreversible consequences.  Second, then, how to identify this so-called “hypoglycemic drugs”?  1, first of all, but also to check the “national drug license” to identify its authenticity; 2, the instructions on the use: the general pure Chinese medicine effect time is not fast, are indicated before or after meals to take, and “fake drugs” generally indicate that “before meals Half an hour before meals… The actual fact is that you can’t see the person, but you can also send the medicine: Chinese medicine advocates the diagnosis and treatment, and proprietary Chinese medicine is no exception, where the Chinese medicine formula is not a miracle drug that can be used in all directions, but for a certain type of evidence. But the business is eager to earn money with advertising, telephone and even radio to sell you a few courses of drugs, you dare to eat?  4, engage in promotional activities to induce you to buy the next year of drugs: with the development of the disease, the type of evidence changes, the treatment principles change accordingly, the situation will arise in a year is unpredictable, only eager to return to the money, irresponsible to the patient’s doctor will prescribe a year of drugs.  The above is what I often see in the clinic, to remind the majority of patients to prevent deception. See some diabetic patients eat bad liver, eat bad kidneys, diabetes appears after not timely medical treatment, serious complications after the emergence of formal medical treatment, at this time the damage has been irreversible, really heartbroken for them! Furthermore, these businesses generally play the guise of traditional Chinese medicine, corrupting the reputation of the national essence of Chinese medicine! I really hope that the media will not give money to “publicize”, the regulatory authorities do not “earn an eye, close an eye” or take the “standard” to put off the public!
