"Diabetes is a disease of wealth" is an outright lie.
There are so many misconceptions about diabetes. What to eat lightly, eat less big fish and meat, etc. are extremely misleading, and the most misleading is that "diabetes is a disease of wealth"
Meaning: People with diabetes eat too much good things, and they have to eat a little bit and eat more whole grains to get better.
In fact, it is not true, diabetes is not the exclusive disease of the rich, and the well-off people who are suddenly rich are the high-risk groups of diabetes. With high energy and low nutrient food intake, middle-class workers who lack physical labor are the most concerned group for diabetes.
The well-off people who suddenly become rich only know how to satisfy their appetites, and they do not have the heavy physical labor of the poor people to consume, and at the same time they do not know how to manage their own health. It's no surprise that diabetes is coming to your doorstep.
"I've been too hard in my life, I've worked hard for so many years, I finally retired, and I haven't enjoyed a good life, I have such a disease, you must help me heal, even if I pay more money, I'm willing"
Some time ago a patient came to such a situation.
Mr. Song, 61 years old, just retired two years ago, when he retired, his body was still very strong, he was born alive every day, he had nothing to do with his friends to play mahjong and chess, he didn't have time to eat before, he didn't eat, he wanted to eat, and now he tasted it all over again, and it didn't take long for him to be diagnosed with diabetes. Now I rely on hypoglycemic drugs to maintain blood sugar.
Knowing the patient's situation, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, and I was more convinced that diabetes is a disease of wealth for the poor!
Immediate diagnosis: the patient has frequent urge to urinate, wants to urinate after drinking some water, and has a strong appetite, and is hungry after eating. The number of pulses, the moss is thin and white. Blood glucose: 18.4mmol/L.
After syndrome differentiation, prescription: atractylodes, licorice, astragalus, coix seed, tangerine peel, zexiao, salvia.
After taking 14 doses of the drug, the patient's blood sugar decreased significantly, the urge to urinate was not so strong, and his appetite returned to normal. Blood glucose: 10.7mmol/L;
After 14 doses, the patient's blood sugar further decreased, and his physical fitness slowly recovered, and his blood sugar was measured: 9.4mmol/L.
In order to consolidate the efficacy, continue to take it for one month, and measure blood sugar: 6.4mmol/L.
Next, let's analyze the reasoning!
Most diabetics have a fatty and sweet eating habits, which also leads to the imbalance of spleen and stomach function.
If the spleen and stomach are abnormal, the food and water grains in the body cannot be converted into energy, and phlegm and dampness will be generated, and phlegm and dampness cannot be lowered by the stomach, so it can only enter the blood.
Dampness pollutes the blood, and the human body is not nourished, so there is a situation where you eat too much but are hungry easily. Therefore, to treat diabetes, it is necessary to purify the blood while repairing the spleen and stomach.
Fangzhong: Atractylodes macrocephalus strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, coix seed improves water and reduces swelling, the two can be used together to treat spleen and stomach weakness; Salvia miltiorrhiza invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis, relaxes tendons and activates the nerves; astragalus membranaceus nourishes qi and nourishes blood; Ze Epsom diuretic and drenching, clears heat and detoxification, is suitable for dampness, edema and other conditions; tangerine peel strengthens the spleen and regulates qi, conducts qi and dampness, and reconciles stomach qi; Salvia miltiorrhiza invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis; licorice nourishes qi and blood and reconciles medicinal properties.
After practicing medicine for many years, I have always adhered to pure Chinese medicine to treat diseases, and I will never prescribe more medicine because the patient is rich, nor will I look down on the patient because he is poor.
Although this will make my life poor, I am not willing to let patients suffer anymore because I have been clinically ill for many years and am used to seeing the world's diseases
Traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and prescription medicine is only one aspect, and it also needs four diagnoses and references to be more accurate. It should not be copied, and a diagnosis is needed to be more accurate. If you don't do it right, blindly applying the prescription will make the condition worse.
