Patient's question:
2 Type 1 YearDoctor's answer:
Hello. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, where differentiation is based on symptoms rather than diseases. From the perspective of drug composition, small herbal formulas are known to have the functions of invigorating qi, nourishing kidney yin, and draining lung heat. They are suitable for type 2 diabetes with qi and yin deficiency accompanied by excess heat, as most diabetes cases eventually develop into qi and yin deficiency.Advice: Although specific symptoms were not provided for syndrome differentiation, this formula still makes sense. However, long-term use of Astragalus root may have a tendency to generate heat. Additionally, you can consider using raw Chinese yam and (pollen), two traditional Chinese herbs, which have the functions of nourishing yin, clearing heat, and tonifying the stomach. They are gentle in nature and can be used for long-term treatment.
