Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for over two years. Since entering the stage of middle-aged women, I have felt dizzy and a bit weak in the waist and knees. Sometimes I also feel dry mouth and throat. My daughter bought me Liuwei Dihuang Wan. I would like to consult an expert: is it okay for a diabetic person like me to take Liuwei Dihuang Wan?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can normally take Liuwei Dihuang Wan. Diabetes is mainly caused by individual insulin dysfunction leading to abnormal blood sugar levels, and long-term effects can impact kidney function. Liuwei Dihuang Wan primarily has a supportive effect on the kidneys and does not significantly affect diabetes, so it can be taken orally normally. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits and maintain a regular routine.
