C.3. TCM formulas in treating diabetes
According to the article of TREATMENT OF DIABETES WITH CHINESE HERBSby Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon. The below formulas are recommended for diabetics depending to the differentiation(105).
1. Reducing Sugar Tablet A (Jiang Tang Jia Pian)
The formula includes the following herbs
astragalus, polygonatum, trichosanthes root, pseudostellaria, and rehmannia, and was recommended for people with low levels of insulin, but are still capable of producing insulin.
The herbs were administered as extracts in tablet form, with 2.3 grams raw material per tablet, 6 tablets each time, three times daily, for a total dose of over 40 grams per day (raw materials equivalent). The effects were said to be enhancing sugar tolerance and elevating the level of serum insulin. In the treatment of 405 cases of diabetes with this preparation at the Guanganmen Hospital, 76.5% of the patients had improved sugar tolerance. Among those patients who most closely fit the therapeutic pattern of the herbs-those with qi and yin deficiency-the effective rate was slightly higher, 81%.
2. Rehmannia Eight Formula was recommended for those patients who produced little or no insulin. This is for patients with advanced disease, representing a deficiency of yin and yang (the cinnamon bark and aconite added to Rehmannia Six Formula to produce Rehmannia Eight Formula are said to restore yang). In laboratory animal studies, use of this formula resulted in reduction of water demand (thirst), blood sugar, and sugar spill into the urine. As a result of positive reports resulting from use of this formula for diabetes in Japan, the current author recommended it for those with early-onset diabetes beginning in 1981, using mainly the patent medicine from China, variously called “Sexoton Pills” or “Golden Book Tea” which is the Rehmannia Eight Formula (Ba Wei Di Huang Wan). When consumed in the amount of 12 pills each time, three times daily, it could help reduce the fluctuations in blood sugar that were experienced by insulin-dependent patients who had difficulties gaining control of blood sugar levels. As a result, there was a slight reduction in total insulin usage, but the main benefit was more reliable effects of insulin.
3. Jade Spring Pill (Yu Quan Wan), a patent formula from China, is recommended for diabetes treatment in the dosage of 50 grams per day (the original form was large honey pills of about 6 grams each), for at least one month. In laboratory animal studies, this formula was shown to increase glycogen in liver cells (the single herb rehmannia also has this effect in laboratory animals). When the current author visited the Sichuan Province United Pharmaceutical Manufactory, a new product was presented: the second generation of “Yuechung Pills” (Jade Spring Pills), comprised of pueraria, trichosanthes root, rehmannia, licorice, schizandra, and other herbs not mentioned on the label. These pills are indicated in the package labeling for the “ill function of the islets of Langerhans.” The relatively small pills are packed into small bottles with a total of 6 grams each, and 20 bottles are packed in one box, accompanied by instructions to take one bottle each time, four times daily (the box is a five day supply at 24 grams/day). Compared to the first generation, it is said on the package insert, the new product had been clinically proved to have an improved rate of cure and that the dose had been reduced. Jade Spring Pill is useful for the early stage of diabetes, when yin deficiency and dryness dominate. In a recent clinical evaluation of a Chinese herb formula for diabetes, Jade Spring Pills, used for the control group, was reported to be effective in reducing blood sugar for 79% of cases treated (33).
