Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate metabolism which is characterized by hyperglycemia. Without proper management, diabetes can become a serious health problem that can lead to heart conditions, kidney failure, blindness, amputation of the leg, impotence, and even death. Besides Insulin, the western approach uses Hypoglycemic Agentsare to lower blood sugar level directly These agents can lower blood sugar temporarily. Many diabetic patients have the experiences; they rely on these agents repeatedly for many years. However, a long-term drug (hypoglycemic Agents) stimulation of the pathologic beta cells could make into a fatigue state and inhibit the automatic secretion of insulin. This is why the nearly diabetics could be controlled by oral drugs, while the disease became serious, the stronger dosage of drug must be added and eventually insulin injection may be required.
Chinese Herbal Therapy, unlike a lot of hypoglycemic Agents, does not lower blood sugar directly. It improves the blood circulation, restores the function of pancreas, fosters the growth of the islet(beta) cells, increases insulin secretion, regulates carbohydrate metabolism; thus, lowering blood glucose level naturally. According to research in China and in US, studies have successfully shown that Chinese herbs can effectively reduce the level of glucose and cholesterol in blood.
