Abstract:
To observe the therapeutic effects of catgut implantation at Weiwanxiashu (Ex-B 3) in the treatment of diabetes, catgut implantation was used to treat 62 cases of diabetes. In group A, 30 cases were treated just by catgut implantation; in group B, 32 cases were treated by catgut implantation and western medicine; in group C, 30 cases were treated just by western medicine. After treatment, the effective rate was 90.0% in group A, 93.7% in group B and 60.0% in group C. The therapeutic effects in groups A and B were obviously better than that in group C (P＜0.01). These are of great significance for diabetic patients in controlling blood sugar and preventing and treating complications.
