How Chinese Medciicine can help Diabetes patients

Diabetes is a common metabolic endocrinopathy (hormonal disease), which is related to the pancreas’ (leaf shaped organ in the body, which produces Insulin, the hormone which avoids too much accumulation of sugar in the blood) dysfunctions:
a. Obesity often contributes to the problem because, the presence of the excess fat tissue decreases the production of insulin.
b. In middle age, insulin decreases gradually;
c. Anxiety can increase Epinephrine production in the body, which can:
- Block insulin secretion;
- Stimulate glucagon (hormone which causes conversion and storage of excess Glucose (sugar) release;
- Activate glycogen (stored form of glucose) breakdown.
d. Overeating is a common reason to produce sugar in the blood since diabetics dont have enough insulin to drop down the sugar level.
e. Drinking and smoking can increase the cholesterol level in the body, which in turn decreases the insulin ‘s production.

Symptoms
a. There is over 160-180 mg per 100 ml or more of whole blood sugar concentration two hours after meal and over 130mg per 100 ml early in the morning ;
