Diabetes needs to be taken for life! It can only be controlled, not cured—— is it?
My answer: I sing a lot of counter-tunes, don't talk about it, everyone must know it.
Diabetes turned out to be a problem of 'absorption', and this 'absorption' has a mechanism, just like a faucet. If the 'faucet' is repaired, water (sugar) can be drunk naturally, but how can blood sugar be high? Too much sugar in the blood means that there is too little sugar in the organs! Diabetics with high blood sugar are deficient in their bodies! I believe most people do not know this truth.
The principle of hypoglycemic drugs is to eliminate the sugar in the blood vessels in a 'burning' way, "eliminating rather than promoting absorption". It's like a child playing with water, constantly scooping water into the water tank and scooping it out of the water tank. Still hasn't solved the problem of sugar absorption!
There was once a diabetic patient in my outpatient clinic, female, surnamed Dong, age 59, with a medical history of more than 10 years, who had taken Chinese and Western medicines such as metformin and thirst quenching pills, but his blood sugar was still unstable.
Recently, I also obviously feel short of breath and fatigue, sweating, thirsty, urinating too much, at the same time, my waist and knees are sore, and my lower limbs are numb. Especially in the afternoon, the numbness of the limbs is more obvious.
In her own words, her blood sugar is usually unstable, and she doesn't take it seriously, but now she obviously feels that her body is "red light".
I didn't feel tired when I walked with my grandson in my arms before, but obviously in the past 2 weeks, I felt very struggling. A fasting blood sugar of 8.5 was measured at breakfast and 10.5 before dinner. I realized that I had to pay attention to it, so I wanted to find a Chinese medicine doctor.
Diagnosis: thin white tongue coating, thin pulses.
Prescription: American ginseng slices, Ophiopogon vulgaris, Schisandra chinensis, Rehmannia, Chinese yam, Cornus officinalis, Danpi, Poria cocos, Zexiao, Astragalus, fried atractylodes, parsnip, kudzu, pollen.
The result?
After taking 10 doses, I obviously felt that the discomfort was reduced, especially the soreness of the waist and knees, and the numbness of the lower limbs, which have been greatly improved, and now I can play with my grandson at least all day.
As for the blood sugar, it also decreased from 8-10 on an empty stomach to 6-8, and the effect was not better, so I continued to take it, and Ms. Dong's blood sugar was stable at the time of the follow-up, and all the symptoms were flat.
Looking back, why did you prescribe it this way?
In fact, Ms. Dong's problem lies in the deficiency of yin in the liver and kidneys, which is a void fire in the body, which causes her to develop various diseases.
Diabetic patients first have problems with liver function, and the liver's ability to store and regulate blood sugar is good, and blood sugar will be smoothly transported to various viscera, and the problem of cell sugar deficiency and sugar absorption will be solved.
In addition, Chinese medicine often says: "liver and kidney are homologous". To put it simply, if the liver yin is insufficient, after a long time, the kidney yin will also be insufficient.
If the kidney yin is insufficient, the kidney qi will be abnormal, and the bladder cannot be better directed, which will lead to polyuria;
If the kidney yin is insufficient, the fire is burned internally, and the fluid is depleted, people will be thirsty, and of course, the waist and knees will be sore.
Fangzhong American ginseng: nourishes qi and nourishes yin, clears away heat and generates Jin, Mai Dong: moistens the lungs and cleans the heart, diarrhea and heat, and Schisandra chinensis, which can stabilize kidney qi and keep kidney qi from being exposed.
Rehman, yam, and dogwood, focusing on nourishing the yin of the liver and kidneys, just like the dry land, coincided with a timely rain, so that the body that has been dry for a long time can be moisturized in an instant.
That's the basic intent, you can understand it now, right?
Therefore, the treatment of diabetes cannot simply lower blood sugar, but solve the problem of sugar absorption!
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.
