Is TCM effective in treating diabetes? What do you think about this?

Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly organic matter of animals and plants, and its composition is close to that of human food. Its toxicity is less than that of the chemical synthesis of Western medicine. It is safe to use and generally does not seriously damage internal organs.

There are no contraindications (not absolutely) for serious complications such as liver, kidney, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is very rich in prescriptions and prescriptions for diabetes, providing more options for the development of new drugs and diabetes. Traditional Chinese medicine can strengthen the body, improve disease resistance, strengthen the body and dispel evil spirits, and consolidate long-term curative effects.

Modern studies have found that many Chinese herbal medicines are rich in trace elements such as zinc and chromium, as well as plant fiber, which has a certain effect on blood sugar control.

Some Chinese herbs have an insulin-like effect. More than 100 Chinese herbs have been reported to lower blood sugar. Their effects may be comprehensive, as well as those of a variety of Western medicines.

Moreover, most of them have a mild effect and do not have the *** of hypoglycemia. However, the biggest disadvantage of TCM** diabetes is that the hypoglycemic effect is too light and the effect is too slow. Another fact is that for patients with acute serious complications such as significant hyperglycemia and ketosis, the use of Chinese herbal medicine alone may delay the progression of the disease.

Therefore, TCM is not a perfect medicine. To sum up, TCM and Western medicine are two completely different medical systems, each with its own pros and cons.

In recent years, modern scientific research has believed that the mechanism of diabetes in traditional Chinese medicine is to replenish the five internal organs, invigorate qi and essence, dissolve blood stasis and eliminate stasis, and comprehensively regulate the same disease. Second, traditional Chinese medicine has a certain hypoglycemic effect. At present, more than 70 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines have been proven to have hypoglycemic effects, and more than 30 kinds of compounds have been proven to have hypoglycemic effects.

The hypoglycemic mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine may have the following aspects: promote the growth of pancreatic islet cells secrete insulin and inhibit the secretion of glucagon; Improve the binding capacity and number of insulin receptors, and improve the after-effects of insulin receptors; Inhibits gluconeogenesis, promotes glucose utilization, and delays intestinal glucose absorption.

Patients with mild type 2 diabetes. On the basis of careful diet management and exercise**, type 2 diabetes without serious acute and chronic complications, especially type 2 diabetes with a certain insulin secretion function, can simply use traditional Chinese medicine**. However, it should be emphasized that TCM is part of the diabetes complex.

Patients with concomitant symptoms. After a comprehensive **, the patient's blood sugar has been controlled, but some symptoms such as dry mouth, fatigue, sweating, etc. are difficult to control. At this time, Chinese medicine can use kidney, yin, heat, dampness, etc., to achieve good results.

Patients with early diabetes who have chronic complications, such as onset nephropathy, fundus lesions, neuropathy, etc., can be combined with comprehensive measures such as glucose control, lipid reduction, blood pressure reduction, vasodilation, and nutrition on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine.

I think it is still effective, such as acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, which may have a good effect on diabetes, but it will take a long time.

I think Chinese medicine is very effective for diabetes, because Chinese medicine focuses on removing toxins from the body.

There is an effect, and the ** of Chinese medicine is also very stable, and the effect is relatively good, so many people will choose Chinese medicine.

Of course it worked. Traditional Chinese medicine ** Some diseases are also effective, but because traditional Chinese medicine is relatively gentle, the effect should be slower, and it will only have an effect if you stick to it.

Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in diabetic, and Chinese medicine will resist the production of insulin through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, etc., which is also very small and will not bring other complications.

There is still some effect on diabetes. I think that through traditional Chinese medicine, the symptoms of diabetes can be reduced, and there can be some improvement in diabetes, but it cannot be completely improved, and the cost is still very expensive.

Traditional Chinese medicine is certainly effective for diabetes. I think it's normal, because Chinese medicine can play a role in stabilizing sugar.

When it comes to the word diabetes, I believe everyone is familiar with it, and many people say: "Diabetes is one of the diseases of wealth, look at the poor living conditions before, there are not so many diabetic patients." Indeed, now that the economic level is improving, people's food is getting better and better, but the incidence of chronic diseases is also increasing year by year.

Diabetes mellitus is caused by a defect in insulin secretion or a biological impair, or both. Long-standing hyperglycemia leads to chronic damage and dysfunction of various tissues, especially the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and nerves.

Diabetes has existed since ancient times, but TCM does not have the name of "diabetes", but belongs to the category of "thirst-quenching". The so-called "elimination" is to eliminate grain and hunger, and "thirst" is to drink without quenching thirst, which is extremely consistent with the symptoms of diabetes "three more and one less".

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the basic pathogenesis of diabetes is yin deficiency and heat as the standard, and diabetes is caused by the deficiency of yin fluid in the lungs, spleen and kidneys.

Many young people are actually very confident that diabetes is a middle-aged and elderly disease, as if it has nothing to do with young people. Here, Dr. Yu tells everyone that diabetes is all around us.

The most frightening thing is not diabetes itself, but the sequelae of diabetes. It is believed that diabetic patients know how harmful the sequelae are to the human body, and long-term improper blood sugar control will induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, organ damage, foot ulcers and so on. Therefore, the daily care of diabetic patients is also very important!

Reasonable exercise can increase the utilization of glucose by muscle tissue, which is conducive to lowering blood sugar, improving the affinity of insulin receptors and insulin sensitivity. However, exercise is also particular, do not exercise vigorously to avoid foot discomfort, daily walking and other exercises can be.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is advisable to choose low-sugar, low-fat, high-protein, and cold foods. For example, daily soy products, pumpkin, grapefruit, and bitter gourd containing insulin; Pineapple, lychee, and cherry, which are rich in pectin, because pectin can promote the body's insulin secretion and indirectly help lower blood sugar;

Diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetic patients, and it is necessary to have regular check-ups to detect abnormalities early and in a timely manner. To keep the feet clean, wash the feet with warm water before going to bed every day, and because the lower limbs feel sluggish, it is forbidden to wash the feet with boiling water and apply hot compresses to prevent burns. Be careful when pedicure, pay attention to the choice of shoes and the application of insoles, wear soft, appropriately sized cloth shoes, the toe should be wide, the toes can be fully straightened in the shoes and slightly moved, it is forbidden to walk barefoot, and it is not advisable to walk for too long.

Although traditional Chinese medicine can ** diabetes, there are many symptoms of diabetes, and the condition is more complicated, so it should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. But don't blindly self-medicate, lest the sugar control effect backfire!
