The term "Diabetes mellitus" (DM) is a metabolic disorder disease and most patients diagnosed of Diabetes mellitus have to receive western medical intervention, such as oral medication and insulin injection for a long time. Given that western medical intervention is known to have side effects and could result in allergic reactions. it was hoped that chinese medical treatment could be adopted to lower side effects and achieve a longer lasting effect.
In the following we present the case of a 37-year-old female who had diarrhea after taking oral medication for type II Diabetes, diagnosed in October 2015. In November of 2015, due to the side effects of the western medicine and little improvement of the symptoms of dry mouth and thirst, she did not take western medicine regularly and come to TCM department for combined consultant. At that time, her GLU-AC was found to be 146 and HbA1C was 9.5. The Chinese medicine diagnosis for the patient was “wasting-thirst disease” with lung heat and stomach heat, kidney yin and yang vacuity, dampness due to spleen qi vacuity, yin vacuity.The treatment goals were clearing lung heat and stomach heat, supplementing kidney yin and yang, replenishing spleen qi, drainage dampness and nourishing yin. After treatment with a Bai Hu Jia Ren Shen Tang and Ba Wei Di Huang Wan variant in powder form, the symptoms including of dry mouth, thirst, frequent
urination and nocturia were all improved. In a subsequent check-up performed in February of 2016 HbA1C decreased to 5.4% and the symptoms such as tiredness and diarrhea resulted from western medicine were improved as well. From this case it is clear that TCM treatment is effective in the treatment of Diabetes.
