case_images: Intervention of TCM decreased blood glucose and improved islet function. (a) Changes in HbA1c: the level of HbA1c decreased significantly after the initial 3 months of treatment and showed a downward trend that tended to be stable after the long-term treatment. (b) Changes in glucose: the level of FPG and 2hPG showed a downward trend and fluctuated within the control standard range. (c) Changes in fasting insulin: the level of fasting insulin improved after the long-term treatment. (d) Changes in C-peptide: the level of C-peptide improved after the long-term treatment. TCM: traditional Chinese medicine; HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; 2hPG: 2-hour postprandial blood glucose.
