Dr. Zhang answers the question: Chinese medicine and diabetes.

Although there is no such word as "diabetes" in the scope of Chinese medicine, the "thirst-quenching disease" in Chinese medicine is very similar to the manifestation of diabetes in terms of symptom description, and diabetes is also mentioned in modern medical textbooks, and the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" is also mentioned. When talking about diabetes in modern medical textbooks, they also mention "thirst-quenching disease" and the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, so both Chinese and Western medicine have their own understanding of diabetes.

The questioner asked whether Chinese medicine can cure diabetes, there is no doubt about this, Chinese medicine can treat diabetes. However, we have to understand that diabetes is divided into type 1 and type 2, type 1 diabetes is the absolute lack of insulin, you must rely on insulin injections (but the proportion of patients is small); while the treatment of type 2 diabetes, is multi-faceted, including patient initiative to learn about diabetes, nutritional therapy, exercise therapy, drug therapy (oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin injections, traditional Chinese medicine), blood glucose monitoring and so on. Medication is only a part of the comprehensive treatment.

To say that rely on Chinese medicine to lower blood sugar, that is certainly not appropriate, because in the scope of Chinese medicine, there is no "lowering blood sugar" this statement, Chinese medicine is mainly aimed at the symptoms of the drug, the pursuit of the symptoms of the relief, Chinese medicine is not to take the laboratory indicators as a therapeutic goal and basis. However, this is also the Chinese medicine has certain limitations, according to a large number of clinical data and retrospective analysis, we recommend that diabetic patients control fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose, and strive to control blood glucose in a long-term stable within the normal range, only in this way can we avoid the emergence of various types of complications.

Therefore, diabetes mellitus, we cannot rely on Chinese medicine alone, we need to combine the relevant indicators and drugs of modern medicine to accomplish the treatment of diabetes mellitus together. Chinese medicine is very desirable in improving the accompanying symptoms of diabetic patients, but in terms of scientific management of blood glucose, we have to start from the aspect of modern medicine.

Dr. Zhang Online - Welcome to your attention!

It's okay.

Diabetes mellitus, which is called consuming thirst in Chinese medicine, is divided into upper, middle and lower consumptions; upper consumptions drink more water, middle consumptions eat more food and lower consumptions urinate more. Some diabetic patients drink at least two warm pots of water every day, and polyuria, the night to get up five or six times, although the amount of food is normal, but the legs will be losing weight day by day, the whole day tired. This condition belongs to lung and kidney yin deficiency, spleen and kidney deficiency, and can be treated by stretching and massaging the spleen meridian's Diji, Sanyinjiao, Gongsun points, and the kidney meridian's Fusuyao and Taixi points. If it is an acute attack in the early stages of the disease and no insulin is given, the function of the pancreas can be restored in a short period of time as long as it is treated in time. If the diabetic condition is very long and you have been taking western medicines for a long time, or if you are dependent on insulin injections and insulin-secreting hormone function will be abolished, it is more appropriate to start with the meridians and then regulate the meridians and tonify the spleen.

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder, is insulin absolute or relative secretion insufficient caused by the disease, including sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolyte metabolism disorder, which is characterized by high blood sugar. Scraping and cupping can achieve the effect of treating the root cause and balancing the metabolism through the conditioning effect on the acupoints.

It's a sick sentence. So there's no way to answer it.

Diabetes is the name of a disease in Western medicine. There is no such disease as diabetes in Chinese medicine.

Tell us what our faction knows about diabetes.

We believe that diabetes is not a disease. It is a physiological phenomenon. For example, a person's body reaches its peak at 18 years of age and is the tallest. He becomes shorter in his 40s and shrinks in his 80s. Can you say that this person is sick? This is a physiological phenomenon in human beings. It is aging.

Western medicine treats normal human aging as a disease in order to make money.

Chinese medicine has some anti-aging methods that work well.

I know a lot of people are not convinced and have to come up with a lot of reasons. Let me just ask, did you guys know that before a person dies, they have to have a blood sugar abnormality? Is there any disease in this world that everyone gets?

Western medicine has caught on to this, so the latest diabetes standards no longer advocate lowering sugar. Too bad most people in this country don't know that yet.
