Research Progress on Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes with Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on Intestinal Flora

Abstract

In recent years, the World Health Organization has proposed the concept that only intestinal health can lead to longevity. It can be seen that gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining human health, and gut microbiota has become a hot topic in medical research. With the change of Chinese residents' lifestyle, the incidence rate of diabetes is increasing rapidly. Research shows that the incidence of diabetes is closely related to intestinal flora imbalance. Traditional Chinese medicine can reduce blood sugar and improve clinical symptoms by regulating intestinal flora. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this paper discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of intestinal flora imbalance, and provides a theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine to regulate intestinal flora to prevent and treat diabetes. Intestinal flora is a complex ecosystem, which plays an important role in maintaining human health. The imbalance of intestinal flora may lead to the occurrence of diabetes. The dynamic balance of gut microbiota is closely related to the kidneys, spleen, liver, and lungs. Traditional Chinese medicine monomer and compound can prevent and cure diabetes by regulating intestinal flora.
