Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Diabetes (High Blood Sugar)

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Diabetes (High Blood Sugar)

1. In truely TCM, there is no term for "diabetes" or "high blood sugar." Elevated blood sugar is merely one symptom, or manifestation, of an imbalance between yin and yang in the body. Ancient Chinese medical texts describe a condition called "Xiaoke" (wasting-thirst disease), which closely resembles severe diabetes (type 1). TCM is fully capable of curing this condition, with detailed discussions on its causes, pathology, treatments, prevention, recovery, and care guidelines. High blood sugar simply means that there's an excess of sugar in the blood and urine, but it may be lacking in other areas of the body. The root cause is organ imbalance (especially in the spleen, kidneys, and liver), and a malfunction in the body's transformative functions—some areas receive too much, while others receive too little.

   
   

2. Causes and Pathology: This condition is closely linked to modern lifestyle choices, misleading health information, and incorrect treatments. These factors harm the functions of the spleen and kidneys, which are unable to properly transform essential substances. Sugar, which is an essential energy and refined substance for the body, becomes problematic. Food enters the stomach, and the spleen processes it into nutrients for the organs. When the spleen and kidneys are damaged, the spleen cannot effectively process food, and the kidneys fail to regulate vital energy to support the spleen, preventing proper nourishment of the organs. As a result:

   In essence, the condition stems from weak central energy, impaired transformation, and organ disharmony, with close ties to the liver, kidneys, and lungs.

• The liver is deprived, leading to vision problems and muscle damage (such as impotence).

• The spleen and stomach fail to transport nutrients, weakening the lungs, resulting in lung infections.

• Muscle wasting and weight loss occur because the body cannot distribute nutrients, while fat accumulation happens due to stagnant, turbid substances.

• Kidney dysfunction causes excessive thirst, hunger, and urination.

• Blood vessel problems and emotional disturbances arise as the heart is deprived of nourishment.

• Higher blood sugar levels indicate a greater depletion of central energy, leading to more severe dysfunction in the body, potentially causing collapse or coma (so-called “acute diabetic complications”).




3. Treatment: Individualized treatment based on syndrome differentiation, particularly for patients displaying various symptoms of "diabetes."
   ① Healing the mind: Treating the mental dependence on Western medicine, science, and medical instruments, and correcting misconceptions by fostering proper understanding.
   ② Correcting lifestyle habits: Helping patients adjust their sleep patterns, eating habits, and Westernized diet. Encouraging the study of traditional culture and health practices.
   ③ Strengthening the spleen and stomach energy: Balancing the organs and unblocking meridians to restore the body's transformative functions. In cases of yin deficiency, nourishing fluids is necessary. This can be achieved through acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary adjustments, using pure, natural, and effective methods without side effects. It can lead to a complete cure!

TCM Diabetes Treatment Considerations:
① Discontinue all Western medications and injections, as they will prevent proper healing!
② During TCM treatment, there's no need to measure blood sugar or blood pressure. Indicators will often fluctuate significantly during treatment—don't worry! Do not resort to Western medication or injections when levels seem high or low. It's best not to measure at all.
③ After stopping Western medicine, there may be a period of discomfort (about 10 days to a month). Don't be afraid, just rest. You can massage acupuncture points like Fengchi, Fengfu, Zusanli, Neiguan, and Waiguan.
④ TCM doesn't aim to "lower blood sugar" or "lower blood pressure" directly. It focuses on treating the five organs holistically. When the organs are balanced and full of energy, and the meridians are flowing freely, blood sugar and blood pressure will naturally stabilize.
⑤ Most patients with "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia) can be cured within 3 to 6 months, with faster recoveries taking about a month. Later, only a few months of herbal pills may be needed for consolidation.
⑥ Diet during TCM treatment for diabetes should be normal—just eat and drink as usual. Ignore Western doctors' advice about avoiding certain foods and drinks. As long as it's something a healthy person can consume, it's fine. Follow any specific dietary restrictions only as advised by your TCM practitioner.
⑦ Many elderly people and those with specific constitutions naturally have higher indicators. As long as the levels are stable and not fluctuating significantly, there's no issue. Don't listen to Western medicine.
