    1% respectively
    .

    On the whole, the grassroots diabetes prevention and control task is arduous, and the homogeneity of prevention and treatment capabilities and health management needs to be improved urgently
    .

    Therefore, in recent years, China has attached great importance to the prevention and treatment of diabetes, and has issued a series of related policies
    .

    It is worth noting that the relevant institutions have recently released a heavy document, which also added a new chapter on the prevention and treatment of diabetes with traditional Chinese medicine
    .

    Specifically, the "National Grassroots Diabetes Prevention and Management Guidelines (2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") was recently released.

       It is understood that the guidelines were entrusted by the Primary Health Department of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China to establish the National Grassroots Diabetes Prevention and Control Management Office, which was led by the Chinese Medical Association
    .

    The industry believes that the guidelines will guide primary medical staff to provide residents with comprehensive and continuous diabetes health management services
    .

       Although at present, many people's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine therapy for diabetes still generally stays at the level of "traditional Chinese medicine cannot directly lower blood sugar, but can only assist in treatment"

       For example, the Chinese patent medicine Keluoxin Capsule, which is also included in the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2020 Edition)" and "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy in China (2021 Edition)", is mainly composed of astragalus and rhubarb.

       In addition to this guideline, the industry has already proposed the use of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat diabetes

    For example, the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2020 Edition)" clarified the status and role of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, and changed the title of Chapter 19 from the original "Diabetes and Traditional Chinese Medicine" to "Diabetes medical treatment"
    .

    According to the stages of pre-diabetes, diabetes and complications, the research results of the pre-diabetes and complications are presented, and non-drug treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion are added
    .

    For the convenience of non-TCM professional physicians, symptom description and annotations are made for TCM syndrome differentiation
    .

       In general, traditional Chinese medicine has good effects on lowering blood sugar, improving metabolic syndrome and diabetic complications, and will play an increasingly important role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes in the future
