I often encounter some patients who have html type 12 diabetes , and do not go to the hospital for examination, evaluate pancreatic function , and establish a diagnosis, but instead look for folk remedies and test prescriptions everywhere. It was not until later that complications (such as peripheral neuropathy, renal function damage, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease , etc.) were present. At this time, diabetes has developed to a certain stage. In addition to the occurrence of complications, blood sugar control is not ideal. In their own words, the reason for irregular diagnosis and treatment is that they are worried that using , insulin, and other antidiabetic drugs will become dependent, and they will continue to use them in the future. My explanation to them is that this is not dependence, but the need for the condition. They believe that traditional Chinese medicine and folk remedies can solve their diabetes problem. So is Chinese medicine useful in treating type 2 diabetes? The answer is yes, there are a few details as follows.
1. Improve physical fitness and adjust the internal environment of the body
A considerable number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes have a bias in physical fitness. The first type is those who suffer from type 2 diabetes for the first time. They are mostly young, around 40 years old, and are fat, have a small belly, are afraid of heat, sweat a lot, can eat and drink, have a good physical condition, and do not have typical symptoms of diabetes. Usually, they come to the hospital when they find that their blood sugar is increased during the annual regular physical examination of the unit. Some patients do not come to the hospital because they do not feel uncomfortable. This type of patients basically have both Qi and Yin deficiency. The second type is patients with a longer course of type 2 diabetes, who are older, mostly over 60 years old, and may be fat or thin, afraid of cold, or fear of cold or heat, do not sweat much, eat so well, and have not strong physical condition. In terms of diseases, such patients are spleen deficiency, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and of course, there are also liver and kidney yin deficiency, . Faces in the constitution or abnormal internal environment will cause pancreatic islet cells to not function normally. Traditional Chinese medicine has the function of adjusting the constitution, which is conducive to improving the internal environment of the human body. Therefore, it helps to improve the function of pancreatic islet cells and thus improve type 2 diabetes.

2, Reduce insulin resistance
0 A considerable number of patients with type 2 diabetes have not low insulin levels, but increase, which indicates that insulin resistance occurs, which means that insulin is not effective and not working. The solution to this problem is to reduce insulin resistance. Western medicines include metformin and pioglitazone, but there are restrictions on the use of older patients and poor liver and kidney function. At this time, Chinese medicine is more suitable. You can use Coptis chinensis, Astragalus, Ghost Arrow Feather, etc., without any side effects, and can be used for a long time under dialectical premise.
3. Reduce and delay the apoptosis of pancreatic islet cells
As the course of type 2 diabetes prolongs, pancreatic islet cells will apoptize and the number will gradually decrease. This is also the reason why the dose of insulin used by patients with long-term disease is getting larger and larger, while blood sugar is not controlled well. Usually, the longer the disease course, the fewer residual islet cells in patients with type 2 diabetes, the closer they are to type 1 diabetes, and it becomes increasingly difficult to treat. Some Chinese medicines have the effect of delaying the apoptosis of pancreatic islet cells, such as ginseng, sting and .

4, reduce blood sugar fluctuations
0 Patients with long-term disease, especially elderly patients, have relatively large blood sugar fluctuations. At this time, the risk of hypoglycemia will increase. If the dosage of insulin is increased, the blood sugar increase will be more obvious. If the dosage is not added, there are contradictions in the treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effect of reducing blood sugar fluctuations. It can be done by regulating the spleen and stomach, nourishing the liver and kidneys, etc.
blood sugar fluctuations are large
5. Prevent complications of diabetes
If you suffer from diabetes, there will never be complications. I guess no one will go to see this disease. Diabetes itself is not scary, what is scary is its complications. As long as the organs you can name, they can basically become the target of attack on complications of diabetes, such as blood vessels, nerves, eyes, kidneys, etc.There are many reasons for complications of diabetes. hyperglycemia is only one of the reasons. For example, some patients with type 2 diabetes have very good blood sugar control, but complications of multiple organs occur in the course of the disease for 5 years, while others are not well controlled. However, 20 years have passed, and no major complications have occurred. Therefore, the prevention of complications of diabetes must be dealt with in a comprehensive manner, and traditional Chinese medicine has this advantage.
Diabetes complications
It should be emphasized that using traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat diabetes and its complications is not used without Western medicine. It depends on the functional status of the patient's islet cells, whether they have complications, etc. And traditional Chinese and Western medicine is just two treatment methods.
