Before I talk about this problem, let me talk about a real case. Xiaotang met a 55-year-old male diabetic in the hospital. During the reexamination, he told the doctor that he had stopped using the medicine prescribed by the doctor and changed to Chinese medicine himself, and his blood sugar suddenly dropped. The doctor asked the patient seriously, what Chinese medicine did he take? The patient said a name like a sugar pill, and then the doctor told the patient that the pill could not be taken. Most of them have added a large dose of hypoglycemic western medicine, deceiving people under the guise of Chinese medicine. At that time, the patients were all stunned, and as a result, they went back to let their families check online and really found the pill scam.
In fact, traditional Chinese medicine has no definite effect on lowering blood sugar, but can only play an auxiliary role. Many people blindly believe in Chinese medicine, thinking that the side effects of Chinese herbal medicine formula are small. In fact, Chinese medicine has the same side effects, not much better than western medicine.
Although Chinese medicine is weak in lowering blood sugar, it is still effective in improving the symptoms of excessive drinking and kidney yin deficiency in diabetic patients, which western medicine can't do, and Chinese medicine acupuncture is also effective in improving peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
Combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is the best way to treat diabetes. Although Chinese medicine is the quintessence of China, we can't exaggerate its curative effect blindly. We should learn from each other's strong points with western medicine, and * * * is the best way to resist sugar.
I hope Tang Xiao's answer can help sugar friends get out of the misunderstanding. See you next time and learn more about diabetes!
More and more people are suffering from diabetes. According to incomplete statistics, 1 4 of the diabetic patients in the world come from China, and nearly1100 million people in China suffer from diabetes. It can be said that China has become the largest country in diabetes.
For the treatment of diabetes, besides paying attention to diet and proper exercise, drug treatment is the key means. However, as the saying goes, it takes three points to poison. Many sugar friends are worried about the side effects of hypoglycemic drugs while taking them for a long time, and sometimes want to switch to traditional Chinese medicine to lower blood sugar. Is this idea reliable?
Compared with western medicine, what are the characteristics of Chinese medicine in lowering blood sugar?
At present, diabetes is called an incurable disease, but it is mainly aimed at diseases that need to be treated with insulin or hypoglycemic drugs. And some sugar friends who find the disease early and get timely treatment can lower their blood sugar through the combination of diet and exercise.
There are many kinds of hypoglycemic agents, but western medicine is the main one, and long-term injection has certain side effects. As a result, many "non-pharmaceutical" products began to be labeled as pure Chinese medicine, health care products, phytonutrients and so on. It is claimed that the hypoglycemic effect is good and there is no toxic side effect.
In this regard, many sugar friends are heartbroken and have doubts: is it better to treat diabetes in Chinese medicine or western medicine? In fact, this question is by no means a simple question of who is good and who is bad. It should be said that Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own advantages in treating diabetes.
Western medicine is characterized by clear mechanism of action and rapid onset, especially in the hypoglycemic effect, Chinese medicine can only be compared with it, because there are almost no pure Chinese medicine preparations with significant hypoglycemic effect. On the other hand, the disadvantage of western medicine is that it has corresponding side effects.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) attaches importance to syndrome differentiation and overall conditioning, which has obvious advantages in improving self-conscious symptoms and preventing chronic complications, so the side effects of TCM on liver and kidney and the risk of hypoglycemia are relatively small. However, the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine are also very obvious, and its hypoglycemic effect is limited. At present, there is no pure Chinese medicine with hypoglycemic effect comparable to that of western medicine.
From the above analysis, we can see that, as far as the treatment of diabetes is concerned, the advantages of western medicine lie in controlling blood sugar and emergency rescue, while the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are embodied in regulating the whole and preventing chronic complications.
What are the limitations of traditional Chinese medicine in lowering blood sugar?
It is true that many Chinese herbal medicines have certain effects in lowering blood sugar, but we should know that there are still some limitations in terms of the effect of lowering blood sugar.
At present, the hypoglycemic effect of traditional Chinese medicine, whether single or compound, is very limited, and it is even more impossible to cure diabetes. When traditional Chinese medicine can not effectively control blood sugar, patients should switch to oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin treatment in time to avoid delaying their illness. At the same time, to use traditional Chinese medicine to lower blood sugar, you must first ask the attending doctor and make a decision after being weighed by a professional doctor. Don't buy medicine blindly.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Chinese medicine is not without side effects. Some patients are biased against western medicine, thinking that western medicine has great side effects of lowering blood sugar and is harmful to liver and kidney, while Chinese medicine is safe and non-toxic, and Chinese medicine is not without side effects.
For example, many patients in our country have renal failure after taking Longdan Xiegan Pill for a long time, because the formula of this Chinese patent medicine contains Akebia manshuriensis, which is very toxic.
In fact, western medicine approved for clinical treatment is relatively safe. For patients with normal liver and kidney function, the dose is within an appropriate range, which generally will not cause damage to liver and kidney function. On the contrary, without drugs, blood sugar can not be effectively controlled for a long time, but it is easy for patients with elevated blood sugar to have complications.
Generally speaking, Chinese and western medicine should be compatible and complementary, not mutually exclusive. If you have diabetes, don't rush to find a shortcut to treatment. Changing lifestyle is fundamental. On this basis, the advantages of scientific medication to maintain blood sugar stability far outweigh the disadvantages.

Don't try to cure the disease by taking ten or twenty drugs. It is a long-term habitual disease. If you want to recover from this disease, you must first accept the treatment of western medicine and Chinese medicine, slowly subvert your previous lifestyle and start to wake up. Why did you make me suffer from this disease? By thinking, changing the original lifestyle and bad eating habits, you can recover slowly, and those who are light can recover. The cause of this disease is nothing more than ambition, that is, stress, overeating, overeating, overworking the house and hurting the kidney, living comfortably, and relying on work does not consume physical strength. Don't learn the imperial lifestyle, it will only shorten your life. Have a light diet and feed on grains. Exercise hard and have peace of mind. Because troubles are caused by illusions.
Under the current medical theory, as long as he is a famous medical expert, no matter western medicine or Chinese medicine, no one will say that he can cure diabetes. In fact, they really can't cure diabetes. They can control blood sugar with drugs according to the patient's condition. They are already good doctors. Only those wild doctors and doctors dare to say that diabetes can be cured. Because in modern medicine, it is believed that only substances dissolved in blood or substances carried by blood and serum can regulate the body's various words and actions and the body's absorption of water. Therefore, when conducting medical research, we all stare at one direction and find out the special substances that cause diseases. When a doctor suspects that a patient has any abnormality or fluctuation, he always tries to find the reason by testing. Results Many diseases can't find the cause, and the treatment methods adopted are only to alleviate the symptoms of patients, not to treat the symptoms. Such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, asthma, digestive tract ulcer, allergy, arthritis, etc., are all the results of wrong understanding.
Mr. Batman, the great medical god, suggested that the human body has a complete signal system, which can send out complex water shortage signals, and automatically adjust various activities of the human body whenever there is water shortage. The above diseases that can't find the cause are just signs that the body is short of water, so some diseases can be cured without taking medicine as long as they learn to drink water scientifically. Diabetes can also be cured by drinking water.
Chief physician Liu, director of vascular surgery of traditional Chinese medicine in Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, replied:
Diabetes can take Chinese medicine. Of course, diabetic foot can also take Chinese medicine. Because Chinese medicine and other related treatments for diabetes, such as drug treatment and injection, have a good superposition. At the same time, it can also improve insulin sensitivity. It is certainly ok to take Chinese medicine for diabetes.
First of all, I am a fan of Chinese medicine with me. My understanding may not be profound. According to the theory I have learned, the ultimate goal of Chinese medicine is not to cure many diseases, but to let people develop a good living habit, including eating habits, work and rest habits and so on. As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, right? As far as you can see, China's classic of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing, doesn't talk about forming a good habit everywhere. If a patient is cured, but does not change his bad habits, he will still get sick and even add new diseases. There is a saying in the zang-fu organs of traditional Chinese medicine that one dirty organ may affect the other if it is bad for a long time. Therefore, my understanding is that under the premise of Chinese medicine conditioning the body, we should give patients a sense of forming good habits, so that we can China.
Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and there is no perfect and convincing theoretical basis. They are all based on the accumulation and practice of thousands of years of culture, paying attention to the balance of yin and yang, seemingly metaphysics, mainly conditioning. Unlike western medicine to treat headaches, the effect of treating foot pain is immediate. Western medicine for diabetes can do nothing but delay the progress of the disease. If Chinese medicine wants to completely cure diabetes, it may not be realistic. It can only be said that it can improve the quality of life of diabetic patients, which is realistic. It is very important to control blood sugar diet, which should also belong to the category of traditional Chinese medicine.
Most people will think of TCM conditioning when there is no way out, which is your trust.
The mainstream medicine says that diseases can't be cured, but folk Chinese medicine can't say that they can be cured. When they said they could cure it, the great gods of Chinese and Western medicine put their faces there. Maybe I'll give you an illegal hat.
Diabetes can't be cured by either traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine. At present, there is no cure for diabetes in the world. I hope Chinese medicine and western medicine can study together. I hope I can cure diabetes in the near future.
