Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with diabetes after a thorough examination at the hospital not long ago. However, as the saying goes, "all medicines have side effects," and I feel that Western medicine is more toxic than traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, for the sake of my health, I would like to take traditional Chinese medicine. So, I would like to ask you, doctor, are traditional Chinese medicine formulas effective for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetes is mainly caused by abnormal decomposition metabolism of pancreatic function. Therefore, the main therapeutic effect of diabetes is not particularly ideal, and in severe cases, it may also affect the normal treatment of diabetes. So once diagnosed with diabetes, it is still recommended to follow medical advice and take oral hypoglycemic drugs. Through the control of medication and diet, keep blood sugar within the normal range to avoid the recurrence of diabetes complications.
