How modern medicine treats diabetes
In Western medicine, diabetes includes many types, such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes develops in adolescence and has a relatively low prevalence rate, mainly due to the destruction of insulin cells. Type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 95% of all diabetic patients and is usually caused by insulin resistance or progressive insulin deficiency, and gestational diabetes refers to hyperglycemic symptoms in women during pregnancy.
The treatment of gestational diabetes varies according to the type and severity of the disease. In the early stages of the disease, diabetic patients can normalize their blood glucose levels through dietary control and increased physical activity under the guidance of a doctor. If the patient’s condition is relatively severe, he or she will need to take long-term oral hypoglycemic drugs to lower blood sugar, so as not to trigger vascular and neurological lesions that threaten the patient’s health and life.
How to regulate diabetes in Chinese medicine
The basic mechanism of the disease is the depletion of Yin and heat. Patients often suffer from Yin and Yang deficiency, heat and fluid deficiency, resulting in Yin and Yang deficiency, Qi and Yin injury, loss of nourishment of tendons and veins, Qi and blood disorder, and in severe cases, damage to internal organs and organs, resulting in stroke, coma, deafness, blindness and chest paralysis. According to Chinese medicine, there are three types of thirst disorders, namely upper, middle and lower thirst disorders, which should be treated with evidence. The upper extinction is mostly caused by heat and fluid injury to the lungs, so the main treatment should be to produce fluid to quench thirst and clear heat to moisten the lungs. The middle elimination is often caused by heat in the stomach, so the treatment should be to nourish yin and promote fluid, clear the stomach and relieve fire. In the case of lower extinction, the kidney is deficient in essence, so the main treatment is to nourish Yin and benefit the kidney.
In addition to treatment, patients should also take care of their body, such as a reasonable diet and exercise. In the diet, the patient should eat less sugar and root vegetables, and can increase the intake of coarse fiber foods such as tomatoes, brown rice, corn, mung bean sprouts and bean foods. Patients with thirst can also take regular exercise to promote the movement of Qi and blood throughout the body to improve the current situation.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that can increase the risk of the disease if the diet is not controlled. If you already have diabetes, you should actively treat it, and you can also take care of it in your life.
