Abstract

With the improvement of people's living standard and the changes of environment, the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is on the rise day by day, while clinical treatment mainly aims at lowering blood glucose, instead of fundamental prevention and treatment. What's worse, the measures of prevention and treatment of DM complications remain inadequate. Both Chinese and modern medicine have advantages and disadvantages in treating DM, therefore, it would be a worthy attempt to break through the bottleneck of DM treatment by combining the advantages of both, and explore the new measures to prevent and deal with DM from the perspective of the combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome and modern medicine. In this paper, modern research methods and possible indicators of TCM syndromes of DM were expounded from clinical and basic research aspects, aiming to find specific biomarkers of TCM syndromes, and providing experimental supports for the diagnosis and treatment of DM and the verification of TCM theory.

Keywords: Animal model; Combination of disease and syndrome; Diabetes mellitus; Objective indicators; Traditional Chinese medicine syndromes.
