METHODS
Forty-one type 2 DM patients compared with those in the control group were observed.


RESULTS
After treatment, the endothelin (ET) level of the treated group reduced significantly, and the total effective rate of blood sugar lowering were as follows: Fasting blood glucose (FBG) 87.80%, 2 hours postprandial plasma blood glucose (PBG) 90.24%.


CONCLUSIONS
YQYYHX is effective in improving the patient's vascular endothelia cell functions by reducing the plasma ET level, clinical symptoms and blood sugar lowering.
