Clinically, we will see many diabetics, some are emaciated, some are overly obese? In the view of Chinese medicine, the body shape of diabetic patients is related to physical constitution and disease factors.
First of all, emaciated diabetics are often due to decreased function of pancreatic islet cells, and the insulin secreted is not enough to meet the body's needs, resulting in elevated blood sugar. TCM believes that blood sugar is the main source of energy for the human body, and elevated blood sugar will prevent the body from getting enough energy, which in turn will lead to weight loss. In addition, if a diabetic person has a strict diet, exercises excessively, or uses too much hypoglycemic drugs, it can also lead to weight loss.
Obese diabetics are mainly caused by improper diet, spleen deficiency and sputum moisture accumulation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the spleen is dysfunctional, metabolites such as wet phlegm and drinking in the body cannot be effectively removed and accumulate in the body, resulting in obesity. In addition, obesity can also occur if people with diabetes eat excessively, lack exercise, or have problems such as insulin resistance.
When treating diabetes, TCM adopts corresponding treatment methods according to the specific situation of the patient. For example, for diabetic patients who are emaciated, TCM will focus on regulating the function of the spleen and stomach, improving digestion and absorption, and at the same time appropriately using Chinese medicinal materials such as nourishing yin and kidney, nourishing blood and deficiency according to specific conditions to promote physical recovery; For obese diabetic patients, TCM will pay attention to regulating the diet structure, appropriately using Chinese medicinal materials such as strengthening the spleen and dissolving phlegm, eliminating food and accumulation, and encouraging patients to increase exercise and control diet to control weight and blood sugar levels.
In short, TCM believes that the body shape of diabetic patients is related to their constitution and condition, and they need to be treated accordingly according to the specific situation. At the same time, TCM also emphasizes holistic concepts and comprehensive conditioning, focusing on improving patients' living habits and dietary structure, etc., to control the disease and promote physical recovery.
