Features: Diabetes is a highly harmful lifelong disease, known in traditional Chinese medicine as "Xiaoke disease." Statistics show that there are 120 million diabetics worldwide, with nearly 20 million in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that diabetes has become the third leading disease after cardiovascular diseases and cancer, prompting global attention to its treatment and prevention. Through long-term clinical observation and scientific research, people have recognized that diabetes treatment cannot be limited to medication. The treatment process is long-term, requiring patients to cooperate with doctors and master knowledge of diabetes prevention, treatment, and care, including aspects such as medication, dietary therapy, exercise therapy, and nursing. Only by doing so can better results be achieved. Therefore, diabetes education and awareness have gained prominence. The World Health Organization has designated November 14th of each year as "World Diabetes Day" to raise public awareness of diabetes. This book introduces knowledge of diabetes prevention and treatment from the perspectives of diet, exercise, psychology, acupuncture, massage, Qigong therapy, and nursing, aiming to help.
