Diabetes is among the top 4 causes of death in Taiwan, and it is estimated that there are 2 million people suffering from diabetes in Taiwan. The most frightening thing about diabetes is that it is difficult to control blood sugar, which can cause systemic complications, including retinopathy, nephropathy, arteriosclerosis, etc. Serious cases may include blindness, kidney dialysis, and even amputation and stroke. Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that Chinese medicine treatment of diabetes can restore the function of the pancreas and hematopoietic function, so that patients have good physical strength, like to exercise, blood sugar is naturally stable, and can prevent complications.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said that he had admitted an elderly 70-year-old Mr. Luo, diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, the Western doctor told him to eat less sugar, less oil, so he did not dare to eat this, that also dare not eat, lost 8 kg in 2 months, but also often feel dizzy, weakness, after switching to Chinese medicine treatment, diet in addition to sweet food ice to avoid, no other restrictions, weight regained 4 kg a month, and now maintain blood sugar 90-100mg/dl, physical fatigue has also improved.
In general, Western medicine treats diabetes with insulin treatments and other blood sugar-lowering drugs. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that the cells of diabetic patients are unable to absorb sugar from food, and usually lose strength and weight, while insulin is a kind of animal hormone, after the administration of insulin, it will make the weight heavier and fatter and stronger, so the use of insulin therapy should be especially careful.
The Chinese medicine point of view, said Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, diabetes is not just a problem with the pancreas, including the spleen and stomach, liver and kidneys should be treated together. For example, diabetes will cause malignant anemia, when the blood is not enough, the kidneys will gradually shrink, we need to nourish the kidneys to replenish blood; and diabetes patients will suddenly lower blood sugar, because the liver glucose balance is not good, when the blood sugar suddenly falls, and the liver can not immediately convert liver glucose into glucose for human use, it is easy to dizziness, sweating, weakness, so diabetes treatment also need to nourish the liver. Only when the liver is healthy can the symptoms of high blood sugar and sudden low blood sugar not occur.
Diabetic patients are prone to kidney disease, itchy and dry skin, as well as physical disorders and neuropathy, because the cells are unable to convert sugar into energy. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that treating diabetes through Chinese medicine can not only restore the function of the pancreas, but also improve the hematopoietic function, allowing patients to exercise to consume sugar, and reduce the chance of related complications, such as easy fatigue, wounds that are difficult to heal, kidney failure, and heart disease.
Long-term treatment with western drugs and insulin can be combined with Chinese medicine treatment? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that the benefits of Chinese medicine treatment is the natural regulation of diet, so that patients have the physical strength to exercise, combined with Chinese and Western medicine treatment can improve the patient’s peripheral symptoms, but also less likely to occur sudden hypoglycemia phenomenon.
