title: [Clinical study on jiang tang san in treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients].
abstract: The therapeutic effect of Jiang Tang San (JTS) in 30 cases with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), was observed, whose fasting blood glucose ranged from 11.1 mmol/L to 13.8 mmol/L. The results suggested that JTS has significant effects on NIDDM patients in the lowering of blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure levels. The clinical symptoms and blood glucose improved rapidly. JTS promoted the elevation of serum insulin level 1 hour after meal. The total effective rate of lowering blood glucose reached 86.7%. The results showed JTS is better than medication of berberine on lowering blood glucose (P < 0.01) and JTS was still effective when patients failed to respond to other hypoglycemics or on recurrence. There were no significant side-effects during the course of treatment.
