The goal of diabetes treatment is not only to control blood sugar, but also to prevent and delay the occurrence of complications in order to ensure the quality of life of patients. As we all know, diabetes is not scary, what is scary is the complications. Therefore, early prevention of complications is the first thing that diabetic patients should consider while monitoring blood sugar. Diabetic complications are as follows: 1. acute severe metabolic disorders (diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state) 2. infectious complications (scabies, carbuncle and other purulent skin infections) 3. chronic complications a macroangiopathy (atherosclerosis, etc.) b microangiopathy (diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, etc.) 4. neurological complications (central, peripheral, autonomic neuropathy, etc.) 5. Diabetic foot. How to control diabetic complications and reduce mortality, there is still a lack of ideal drugs and effective methods at home and abroad, which has become one of the problems of medical research. The use of integrated prevention and treatment of Chinese and Western medicine, not only can improve the clinical symptoms of patients, blood circulation and blood stasis is an important rule of treatment to prevent and treat various complications of diabetes. Chinese medicine is extracted from pure natural medicinal plants, which is concerned with the functions of smoothly lowering blood sugar, improving pancreatic secretion and regulating human immunity, which is very effective in preventing diabetic complications. The advantages of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic complications are summarized as follows: a. Reduce symptoms and improve quality of life Eliminating or reducing clinical symptoms is one of the main advantages of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic complications. For example, some newly diagnosed diabetic “three more and one less” symptoms, diabetic eye disease, such as blurred vision or flying mosquito sign or shame and lacrimation, diabetic nephropathy, such as fatigue and edema, diabetic heart disease, such as panic and palpitations or insomnia, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, such as head and face sweating and numbness of the limbs, diabetic cerebrovascular disease, such as memory function The symptoms of pain and gangrene of diabetic lower limb vasculopathy can be eliminated and alleviated and the quality of life of patients can be significantly improved through the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of TCM. Second, reduce the dependence on Western medicine, protect my own internal organs Diabetic complications are complex, and treatment often requires the combined use of several Western drugs, which can cause gastrointestinal disorders, rashes, liver and kidney function damage and other side effects or adverse reactions. This is one of the advantages of TCM in treating diabetic complications, as the dosage of western medicine can be reduced to a certain extent after a period of treatment with TCM. This is one of the advantages of TCM in the treatment of diabetic complications. The combination of TCM with Western medicine that has specific effects on different complications is a feasible treatment path. In the early stage of diabetes mellitus, the symptoms of yin deficiency and dry heat are usually manifested, and soon it enters the stage of qi and yin deficiency, which is caused by the deficiency of spleen and kidney qi, liver and kidney yin deficiency or yin deficiency and dry heat over a long period of time. When diabetes develops chronic complications, the end stage of the disease may be characterized by deficiency of both yin and yang. The metabolic function of the internal organs is disturbed, and the pathological products of the disorders of qi, blood and fluid distribution and transportation often interfere with each other, such as water and dampness, blood stasis, phlegm and dampness and heat, which remain in the body and do not go away throughout the entire course of diabetes, causing various complications to occur. Chinese medicine treatment, through the regulation of the dynamic balance of the function of the internal organs, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment. Third, improve the physical and chemical indicators, alleviate the condition Patients with diabetic complications are often manifested as certain physical and chemical examination indicators abnormal, such as diabetic nephropathy can be seen in abnormal kidney function indicators, creatinine, urea nitrogen elevation, positive urine protein, hypoproteinemia, hypertension, etc.; diabetic lower limb vasculopathy can be seen in lower limb arteriosclerosis or even arteriosclerosis occlusive disease; with Chinese medicine treatment for a period of time, especially the kidney function, and lower limb Vascular lesions can be significantly improved, slowing down the progress of nephropathy, promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs, and preventing the occurrence of diabetic foot. This is another advantage of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic complications. Fourth, the identification and typing, appropriate selection of proprietary Chinese medicine, convenient for patients to take Seize the characteristics of a certain type of diabetes complications or the main pathogenesis of a certain period, to determine the principles of treatment, the development of specific prescriptions and specific drug research, is currently one of the significant advantages of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetes complications. Because of its stable efficacy, small toxic side effects, long storage time, not easy to deteriorate, easy to carry and long-term use, Chinese medicine is welcomed by the majority of diabetic patients. It is worth noting that the selection of TCM for diabetic complications must be individualized by a specialist herbalist according to the respective conditions. Commonly used Chinese medicines such as: Xie Thirst Pill, Sugar Pulse Kang Granules, Xie Thirst Ping Tablets, Yu Quan Pill, Sugar Reducing Pill, Zhi Kidney Rong Jing Pill, Ginseng Qi Sugar Reducing Tablets, Gan Lu Xie Thirst Capsules, etc. V. Delaying or stopping complications and giving you a high quality of life One of the most prominent and significant advantages of Chinese medicine in treating diabetic complications is that it can delay or reverse diabetic complications and save lives. Early diabetic nephropathy, early diabetic heart disease and diabetic retinopathy are the “triad” of diabetic microangiopathy, and are the most common complications of diabetes. How to delay or reverse the microangiopathy in diabetic patients is the primary problem in the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications, and it is also one of the key points and difficulties in the national scientific and technological research this year. The bottleneck of Western medicine treatment lies in good blood sugar control, but not completely stopping the complications. Chinese medicine has a great advantage in this field, as it can choose suitable Chinese medicine prescriptions for patients according to their different types of symptoms at different times, and regulate the normal operation of organs, qi and blood, and fluids in the body, so as to prevent their complications and improve their quality of life. In conclusion, for patients with uncomplicated diabetes, TCM should give full play to the idea of “treating the disease before it occurs” and the characteristics of evidence-based treatment, so that it is possible to prevent most of the chronic complications and thus kill the complications of diabetes in the cradle; for patients who have developed complications, TCM should be used to treat diabetes and its complications in combination with Chinese and Western medicine. It is believed that TCM is very advantageous in delaying and stopping diabetic complications.
