What can the Chinese herbal treatments do for diabetes?
When we can get a deep understanding of diabetes and the symptoms it causes we can then use customized formulas based on the teaching from those ancient Chinese medical texts. These medical practices can also diagnose and get an understanding of people on an individual basis.  The formula could be slightly altered to target a person with individual needs. These methods are not practiced by most Chinese medical practitioners nowadays.  They have been somewhat lost due to the western medicine influences on Chinese teachings.

According to western medicine the high blood glucose will damage the kidneys. From the point of view of Chinese medicine the high blood glucose and the treatment will damage the kidneys.  Once your spleen and your pancreas start having problems the next major organ to be targeted is your kidneys.  From the perspective of the high blood glucose causing the problem the west and east pretty much have the same point of view but the treatment of the diabetes is where the two systems differ. In Chinese medicine we use herbs to strengthen your kidneys so the high blood glucose won't cause damage to the kidneys.  These herbs will also resolve the problem of frequent urination. 

The main reason someone will experience excessive thirst and hunger with diabetes is the increase in speed of the intestine and stomach squirm. This creates a lot of heat and friction in the digestive tract resulting in a need for food and liquid replenishment sooner than normal. This heat then starts causing problems to the nearby pancreas so it also won't be able to function normally.  Herbs have the ability to cool the excessive heat and add nutrients to the digestive system.  This will then calm down the intestines and stomach and bring the pancreas back to a normal state resolving the issue of excessive thirst and hunger. Once the disharmony in the organs is taken care of your blood sugar will go back to normal. In cases that the diabetes is in an advanced stage, having tingling and numbness in your hands, legs, and feet, and blurred vision, the herb treatment can help with this as well.

It really depends on the complications of your diabetes. For type II diabetes it generally takes 2-8 weeks for a raw herb treatment. For some people it may take a shorter time, others it may take longer. After the raw herbs we will use herbal powder or tablets for about a month to solidify the treatment. For type I diabetes our treatments may not be able to recover the normal function of the pancreas, but it will help to strengthen your organs to prevent further complications. It will also reduce the blood glucose level so the insulin injection dosage can be reduced to prevent more harm to all of your organs. 
Will it come back again? 

If you still keep bad diet habits and take too many drugs to damage the spleen and pancreases the disease may come back again later on.   We want to point out that the real cause of type II diabetes is the bad diet habit and many harmful drugs introduced to your system.  If the cause of the disease can not be avoided chances are the disease will come back later on in your life.  In conclusion we are trying to emphasize using the traditional Chinese medicine treatments that have been practiced for over 2000 years is the best and most proven way to combat diabetes.
