The current status of the treatment of Chinese herbal medicine against hyperglycemia: According to animal experiments, there may be more than one hundred kinds of Chinese herbal medicines or compound prescriptions with hypoglycemic effect, but the results of clinical experiments are very far away. At present, the more unified view of the Chinese medical community is that the existing pure Chinese herbal preparations are not as strong as western drugs in lowering blood sugar, and are suitable for light diabetic patients whose dietary control is ineffective, or for those who are not satisfied with the control of western drugs in combination with Chinese and Western medicine. Our best result is that a patient has not taken any hypoglycemic drugs for 9 years and his blood glucose still remains basically normal, and we have also treated a new diabetic patient whose blood glucose was as high as 90 (normal value 3.9-6.1). This shows that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has its advantages in treating diabetes. Secondly, compound Chinese medicine preparations have many advantages, such as improving symptoms, enhancing physical fitness, less toxic side effects, and preventing chronic complications from medical theory, practice and relevant testing analysis, and from anti-hyperglycemic treatment, Chinese medicine has its certain role, so it is still welcomed by patients. Chinese medicine prevents and treats chronic complications of diabetes: once the complications of diabetes occur, it is quite difficult to treat them. Because of the complexity of the disease and the great individual differences in location, nature, severity and urgency, Chinese medicine needs to identify the disease and treat it with evidence, and the personal experience factor of Chinese medicine practitioners is very important. TCM is striving to objectify and standardize the treatment of various chronic complications. Regardless of whether it is TCM or Western medicine, the treatment of complications can be considered effective if its development is controlled, and treatment should be adhered to. The aim of treatment is to extend the time limit of disability and death from complications to after the life limit, stabilization, improvement of symptoms and quality of life can be used as the patient’s own assessment. Positive significance of TCM to improve symptoms and enhance physical fitness: TCM treatment is characterized by strong individualization, and this treatment characteristic of more targeted to patients’ physical fitness is achieved through evidence-based treatment. Therefore, the improvement of symptoms and physique is also self-evident. Even if it is a finished medicine, its formula should also take into account the physical characteristics of diabetic patients, middle-aged and elderly people. The role of Chinese medicine preparations in “supporting the righteousness” (strengthening the body and resistance to disease) should not be ignored. Patients’ own experience is that their energy and strength will be improved to a certain extent, and their quality of life will be improved accordingly. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is a better choice for the treatment of diabetes (the advantages of Chinese medicine and Western medicine complement each other): for the first time, diet and exercise must be given to guide the life, and if the blood sugar is still high, medication should be considered. 1.For mild hyperglycemia, Chinese medicine can be considered, and those with higher blood glucose can undergo combined application of Chinese and Western medicine; 2.While using Western medicine, it can be combined with Chinese medicine, the purpose of which is to activate blood, resolve phlegm and pass through the ligaments to prevent chronic complications; for patients with poor physique, identify and adjust the tonic to support the righteousness; at the same time, the combined application with Western medicine can strengthen the control of blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and other risk factors; 3.Western medicine for blood glucose Patients with unstable blood sugar, still weak constitution and mood swings should be treated with TCM; 4. The emergence of chronic complications should be treated with TCM evidence-based treatment in an attempt to curb the development of the disease. The choice of medical search and medication: choose a local formal hospital, have the conditions to do relevant examinations, have awareness of diabetes general education, consult a diabetes specialist, use your own personal experience to judge, and not be swayed by the propaganda around you. The principles of medication are effective, economical, and convenient. Drugs that have been approved by the relevant state departments (drugs that have been reviewed by medical research departments and are indeed effective) and are commonly available in most hospitals are relatively inexpensive and are not abused as health care drugs. On the use of diabetic Chinese medicine principles of food therapy: 1, objective assessment of the effectiveness of food therapy “Thousand Gold Formula” said: “For the doctor, when the source of the disease must first know, know what it is, to treat the food. Food therapy does not heal, and then ordered medicine.” It can be seen that food therapy has a certain scope of application, and can not replace drug treatment. Its role is equivalent to the market health care products, aiding treatment only; 2, pay attention to the function of the spleen and stomach food can be digested properly, food therapy can work. Certain drugs with strong tonic power have nourishing or congestion effects, which hinder the spleen and stomach. Therefore, patients who are not healthy spleen and stomach should be combined with products that strengthen the spleen and move qi, or first wake up the spleen, and then tonic, otherwise it will be counterproductive; 3, pay attention to the way food therapy food therapy is a long-term process, so we should consider the patient’s willingness to accept. Taste and variety of changes should be careful, the purpose is conducive to long-term adherence; dietary therapy are tea, porridge, soup, meals, etc.; raw materials are grain, oil, vegetables, fruit, meat, medicine, etc.; 4, pay attention to the target From the effect of consideration, the choice of raw materials should also be identified. Those with strong evil qi cannot be supplemented. For patients with deficiency of positive qi, it is also necessary to identify which of yin, yang, qi, blood and the five organs are deficient, because the treatment idea of Chinese medicine is to adjust the overall balance, for example, if yin is deficient, and instead to supplement yang, then it will be more and more deficient. Regarding the non-pharmacological treatment of diabetes: non-pharmacological treatment involves a wide range, what can be recommended is the combination of sports therapy and traditional forms of fitness, the advantage of which is the adjustment of both exercise and spiritual and emotional aspects, so there is a rational basis, and there are some successful experiences in clinical experiments. Accept non-pharmacological treatment should pay attention to the following points: 1, do not believe in unrealistic and exaggerated propaganda; 2, do not believe in neither Chinese medicine nor Western medicine, borderline theory; 3, do not reject standardized treatment; 4, does not affect normal life, does not increase the economic burden, do not rely on others to implement, choose a method that can be independently mastered. Neither deny nor exaggerate the therapeutic effect of TCM on diabetes, be realistic and conduct research on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to prevent and treat diabetes, and you will definitely make a difference.
