Hi Pushpa,
I really enjoyed reading your post about the Role of TCM in treatment of diabetes mellitus II. As future FNP and health care providers I often see patient population who practice both pharmacological and traditional medications to treat Type 2 Diabetes, and I always worry about the side effects like hypoglycemia if both the therapies are taken together.
It was really interesting to read about different herbal medications like Korean ginseng , balsam pear, Lagenaria siceraria (bottle gourd) , Psidium gnajava and their effects on Blood sugar levels.
Thanks for all your research!
