Ancient methods of diagnosis and treatment of diabetes

  The ancient healers have accumulated very rich clinical experience in their long-term struggle with diabetes and have proposed many effective methods such as medicine, diet, exercise, spirituality and acupuncture, which still have important clinical value today.  1. Diet therapy China first proposed diet therapy. In 650 A.D. Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao clearly pointed out that diabetic patients should avoid noodles, rice and fruit, etc.. About a thousand years earlier than the past misconception that the first to know the treatment of diabetes with dietary control John Rollo. Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty is the originator of the world’s diabetic diet therapy, the “Thousand Gold Essentials” pointed out: “the essence of health, must be in the food, …… do not know the food appropriate, not enough for the whole life”; “food both to drain the evil and peace of the internal organs, pleasing the spirit and refreshing. To capitalize on the qi and blood …… the essence of the disease must be capitalized on food; the speed of saving the disease must be based on medicine”. And that the doctor should know how to make patients to regulate diet: “The doctor, when the need to know the source of the disease, know its offense, to food treatment, food treatment does not heal, and then the order of medicine”. Stressing that diabetes has three prohibitions, thirst “treatment of healing or not, belongs to the patient, if you can be as careful as the party section, ten months and healing, do not love and cherish, death does not follow. Fang Shu medicine, actually more effective, if not careful what? The cautious have three: a drink; two rooms; three salty food and noodles. Can be careful of this, although not taking medicine and can be free of it, do not know this, even if there is a golden elixir, can not be saved, think deeply and carefully.  2.Exercise therapy China first proposed exercise therapy to treat diabetes. Sui Dynasty in 610 A.D. Dr. Chao Yuanfang in the book “the source of diseases” proposed that diabetic patients should participate in appropriate sports. This was more than a thousand years before John Brown, who was mistakenly believed to be the first person in the world to propose physical therapy for diabetes, said that patients with thirst should be guided, and after being guided, they should “first take 120 steps, or more than a thousand steps, and then eat. This is more than a thousand years earlier than John Brown, who is mistakenly believed to be the first person in the world to propose physical therapy for diabetes. Undresser, so that no firm obstacles; fine lying person without external thoughts, so that the gas easy to travel; stretch waist, so that the kidneys are not forced to knit; …… make the gas full less abdominal person, take the abdomen to hold the gas, so that no breath that stop; lead the kidney to lead water to the throat. Run the upper part, go to the thirsty dry engage in disease; li yin and yang, spare qi strength also”. Wang To also pointed out that diabetic patients should exercise: “the way to nourish the sex, do not want to eat and lie down, sitting all day long, …… people want to small labor, but not long labor fatigue extreme, but also can not be strong can not be ear”; and said that diabetic patients “shall not The food will be required to walk every night, eat a little smoothly and sit down.  3, spiritual therapy excessive emotions and desires is an important factor leading to the disease, the regulation of emotions and will in the treatment is an important link can not be ignored, so “Jing Yue Quan Shu” said diabetes patients: “the first feeling of dryness and thirst, it is necessary to clear the mind and desire, thin taste, reduce the thought, no treatment can be healed; if one is not careful, even if there is a famous doctor good medicine, it will not be able to have life”. The Ming Dynasty Wang Kentang “evidence of treatment” also recorded: “do not reduce the taste, do not abstain from cravings, do not moderate the joy and anger, then the disease can be healed and can be made again; can this three, thirst is not enough to worry about”. The concept of education and rehabilitation of thirsty patients was recognized and proposed a thousand years ago in China. The earliest person who told people that thirsty patients should pay attention to sports was Chao Yuanfang of the Sui Dynasty, who said in his “Treatise on the Origin of the Diseases” that thirsty patients should “take one hundred and twenty steps first, or a thousand steps more, and then eat.” Tang Wang To also cloud: thirst “people want to small labor, but not long labor fatigue.  4, education therapy Sun Simiao stressed the issue of education of diabetic patients, which said: “thirst patients, the treatment of healing or not, belong to the patient, if you can be as careful as the party section, ten days can be healed, do not love and cherish, death will not follow.” Another cloud: “Where the doctor treats the sick …… must make the sick know that it is important.” And to let the patient “family self-learning, everyone knows”. These ideas and measures are quite scientific and advanced even today. Jing Yue Quan Shu” also said: where the thirsty patients “first feel irritable thirst, it should be clear mind, thin taste, reduce the thought, then the treatment can be healed, if there is a careless, even if there is a famous doctor good medicine, it will not be able to have life.”
