Case study of treating diabetes on March 13, 1980

Ms. Wang, 44 years old, has had diabetes for three years, with excessive drinking, urination, and eating. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou, and although her condition improved after taking hypoglycemic drugs and D860, her urine sugar remained around (+++) upon discharge.

I prescribed her the following formula: Atractylodes lancea 3g, Chinese yam 20g, Scrophularia ningpoensis 20g, Astragalus membranaceus 20g, raw Rehmannia glutinosa 20g, Salvia miltiorrhiza 30g, kudzu root 20g, Fritillaria cirrhosa 10g, Polygonatum odoratum 10g, Polygonum multiflorum 10g, Schisandra chinensis 3g, raw gypsum 30g, Ophiopogon japonicus 10g, licorice 6g. This formula incorporates elements of Yuquan Pill.

Mnemonic: “Yuquan Pill contains white kudzu root, heaven and earth meet with Ophiopogon, licorice, and sweet grass.”

After taking ten doses of this formula, her urine sugar dropped to negative. The patient was extremely happy, saying that her illness had truly been cured thanks to the doctor’s treatment. Ms. Wang is the daughter-in-law of the famous physician Shi Jinmo.
