Abstract

Diabetes is a kind of chronic metabolic disease characteristic of hyperglycemia. It is mainly divided into diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM), diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and gestational diabetes. Among them, T2DM accounts for more than 90% and it is closely related with obesity and lifestyle. Recent studies have found that intestinal dysbacteriosis is closely related with occurrence and development of diabetes. Specific food components can improve metabolism by adjusting flora. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), diabetes is classified as “the spleen-warm syndrome” and it is believed to be related with dysfunction of spleen and stomach. Moreover, a four-stage development theory of “depression, heat, deficiency and damage” is proposed. Traditional Chinese Medicine intervene diabetes, adjust glucolipid metabolism and flora balance through multiple ways like compound preparation, acupuncture and traditional exercises. Nevertheless, current studies still face many challenges, such as ambiguous multi-component multi-target mechanisms, insufficient clinical standardization and great individual difference. Future studies shall strengthen prospective study and long-term tracking to optimize diabetes control strategies.
