Patient's question:
My aunt's family has very good conditions, but they are very short of money. She loves playing Mahjong every day. Recently, she told my cousin that her eyes hurt, but she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just because she had been playing with her phone for too long. One day, she couldn't stand it anymore and went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said her blood sugar was high. Which part should I use moxibustion for high blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
High blood sugar confirmed after more than two follow-up tests requires a diagnosis of diabetes. The age of the child needs to be considered in this case. If the age is relatively young, such as before the age of 20, it is generally Type 1 diabetes. If confirmed, long-term insulin treatment is required. If the age is older, such as 30 years, blood sugar-lowering drugs should be initiated. Moxibustion has not been proven to be effective in lowering blood sugar, even if it does, it only plays a complementary role.
