Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is thirteen years old. He got diabetes at the age of eight. I want to use traditional Chinese medicine for his health maintenance, but I can't find a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine has no effective treatment for diabetes at all. It is advised not to be misled by unreliable information from various sources. Currently, the only Chinese patent medicine specially approved for treating diabetes in China is Fankewan, but it is a compound preparation of Chinese and Western medicines, and some of the drugs that actually have hypoglycemic effects are the Western medicine Glibenclamide on the market. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examination according to their own condition, so that they can be treated symptomatically and recover quickly.
