Patient's question:
Hello, diabetics with yin deficiency and cold limbs can take Liuwei Dihuang Wan?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, diabetes falls under the category of "nervous thirst" in traditional Chinese medicine, with the primary focus on the liver, spleen, and kidneys, among which the kidneys are the most important. During treatment, it is essential to pay attention to tonifying the kidneys and nourishing yin. It can be managed through dietary control. Generally, if dietary habits are well-controlled, complications rarely occur. In daily eating, it is advisable to consume less oil and salt, and avoid excessive meat consumption, especially fatty meats like twice-cooked pork and pork belly, as they are high in fat and should be avoided as much as possible.
