Objective To investigate the efficacy of Xingpi Huazhuo Prescription in treating pre-diabetic patients with phlegm-damp constitution and its impacts on blood glucose levels and renal func-tion indicators.Methods A total of 104 pre-diabetic patients with phlegm-damp constitution admitted to the hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 were selected and randomly divided into west-ern medicine group(n=52)and combined group(n=52)using a random number table method.The western medicine group received metformin treatment,while the combined group received metformin combined with Xingpi Huazhuo Prescription.Clinical efficacy was recorded after 3 months of treatment,and blood glucose indexes such as[fasting blood glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),and 2-h plasma glucose(2 hPG)]levels,lipid indicators[triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)],and renal function indicators[serum creatinine(Scr),urea nitrogen(BUN),β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)]were compared before and after 3 months of treatment.Results After 3 months of treatment,the total clinical effectiveness in the combined group was higher than that in the western medicine group(P＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,the levels of FPG,HbA1c,and 2 hPG decreased in both groups,and the combined group showed lower levels than the western medicine group(P＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,the levels of TG,TC,and LDL-C decreased in both groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group showed lower levels than the western medicine group(P＜0.05);the levels of HDL-C increased in both groups,and the combined group showed higher levels than the western medicine group(P＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,the levels of Scr,BUN,and β2-MG decreased in both groups,with the combined group showing lower levels than the western medicine group(P＜0.05).Conclusion In pre-diabetic patients with phlegm-damp con-stitution,metformin combined with Xingpi Huazhuo Prescription can effectively improve blood glu-cose levels and exert renal protective effects.
