diabetes?
Lu Jiu looked at the woman carefully.

It doesn't look like it.

That's right, it doesn't look very accurate with makeup on.

"Whether it can be cured or not will not be known until the diagnosis is made. I don't have time at this point today. You can come and see it tomorrow." Lu Jiu said.

Bai Xiuhong shook her head, "It's not me, it's my dad."

Lu Jiu asked, "How old are you?"

Bai Xiuhong said, "74."

Lu Jiu asked, "When did you get diagnosed with diabetes?"

Bai Xiuhong said, "It's been 20 years and I've been taking medicine to control it."

20 years?
When Lu Jiu heard this number, he knew that the situation was not good.

With 20 years of medication history, Lu Jiu didn't need to look at it to know that the uncle's liver and kidney functions had definitely gone wrong.

why?
Metformin is the most widely used drug to treat diabetes. This drug can reduce the synthesis of glucose in the liver and the absorption of glucose in the intestines. It can also decompose sugar in the body, help diabetic patients make full use of endogenous insulin, and reduce fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia.

It seems that there is no problem, right, but reducing the synthesis of glucose in the liver and the absorption of glucose in the intestine means that you are hindering the normal activities of liver function.

This is actually a brutal intervention. If there is too much sugar, I will reduce the synthesis of sugar for you, but the food ingested by the body will not disappear because there is no synthetic sugar. Interrupting this natural physiological function means that there will be problems in the liver’s catharsis, spleen’s transportation and transformation, and large intestine.

Why do diabetics have indigestion or constipation from time to time?

It is because of these functions that there are problems.

But is it caused by diabetes?

No, it's caused by the medicine for diabetes.

The most typical diabetic complication is diabetic foot. Doctors will tell you that diabetic foot is caused by various reasons such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic vascular disease, infection, and trauma.

It's actually caused by the medicine.

Because it prevents the synthesis of sugar and the decomposition of sugar in the body, these things will remain in the body and cannot be excreted, because it is excluded from the normal body function cycle, and naturally it cannot be metabolized through the normal cycle.

So if you can't get out, where will these things go?

The answer lies in the feet.

From the theory of yin and yang, the things that cannot get out belong to yin, and they will definitely deposit in the lower part of the body, because the food eaten by the human body will be gasified in the small intestine, and the clear and turbid will be separated.

When these things accumulate too much on the feet, it will naturally become a diabetic foot.

Many diabetic patients who have been taking medicine for many years prick their fingers when they test their blood sugar. But if you prick your toe to measure your blood sugar, you will know where the sugar goes.

But don't try it lightly, or you will be in trouble if your foot is injured and you can't close your mouth.

At present, this disease is also very helpless, because in the current medical field, the recognized treatment of diabetes is basically to control it with drugs, and you must take drugs for life. Therefore, even if most people know that the complications of diabetes are caused by drugs, there is no way.

I don't know these causes, maybe I will feel better, at least there is no psychological burden when taking medicine.

The reason why Lu Jiu felt a little bad was because of his 20 years of medication history. Not to mention the complications of diabetes, the effects of the drugs on the liver and kidney alone were already difficult to recover from. Once the treatment was started, Lu Jiu would definitely ask the other party to stop taking the drugs. So could his own Chinese medicine suppress the withdrawal reaction?

Lu Jiu himself was not clear about this question.

He only used Baihu plus ginseng decoction to treat some patients who had diabetes just a year or two ago. These patients took the medicine for a short period of time and had little withdrawal reaction when they stopped taking the medicine. Most of them belonged to the upper consumption of diabetes, that is, lung heat and fluid injury.

If it is Zhongxiao, then either the stomach heat is flaming, or the qi and yin are deficient. At this point, it is a bit troublesome, because not only to produce body fluid and quench thirst, but also to clear stomach fire, nourish yin, nourish qi and strengthen spleen, etc.

Once it belongs to the lower disappearance, it may be due to deficiency of kidney yin, or deficiency of both yin and yang. At this time, it is equivalent to hurting the root of the liver and kidney, and it is very difficult to adjust. If you add a history of taking medicine for decades, then Lu Jiu will have to consider whether to take it or not.

Once this kind of patient is picked up, it's just a trivial matter if it can't be cured. Once something goes wrong, Lu Jiu can't bear the responsibility.

When I was in Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lu Jiu saw many director-level Chinese medicine practitioners encounter diabetes. When I asked them how old they were and how many years they had been taking medicine, as long as they were over [-] and had been taking medicine for decades, they would basically let them continue to take medicine to control it. Don't ask Chinese medicine practitioners.

why?
I'm over 70, and I can continue to control it after decades of medicine. There are no complications, and it's not at the point of rescue. Why do I still need Chinese medicine?
As for a little torture in life, hey, I have endured it for decades, and let it go as long as I can. If I encounter a Chinese medicine doctor with a low level, maybe the situation will be even worse.

"My suggestion is to continue to take medicine to control it. For Chinese medicine, don't look for it. It's useless." After a moment of contemplation, Lu Jiu gave his own answer.

Although in front of so many patients, it is a bit embarrassing to admit that he is incapable, but Lu Jiu has always told the truth in this regard. If it is cured well, it will be cured well, and if it cannot be cured, it will not be cured. It will never make false guarantees.

Countless patients came to see him these days, and some people took the medicine he prescribed and it didn't work. Lu Jiu also made it clear that if the three doses of medicine didn't work, he would ask the other party to hire someone else, and he would never earn a penny from the other party.

Because of this, Lu Jiu hardly made any medical troubles. Some patients even had a bad attitude towards Lu Jiu, and others even spoke for Lu Jiu.

Sometimes it is like this, who you are, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, whether you are good or not depends on what you do.

"Is there really no hope at all?" Bai Xiuhong asked expectantly.

Lu Jiu shook his head, "If there are no complications at this age, it proves that the control is good. As long as the disease does not cause too much impact on life, such as not being able to eat or sleep well, then the status quo will remain unchanged."

"Old people are no better than young people. Their recovery is slower. In addition, the time to take medicine is too long. If the medicine is changed suddenly, it will have a big impact on the old man's body. The risks involved are very high. With my level, there is nothing I can do for the time being."

Bai Xiuhong hurriedly said, "It's not that there are no complications, but it's already there. Diabetic foot, the doctor recommends amputation as soon as possible.

At the end, Bai Xiuhong's words carried a bit of crying.

Lu Jiu frowned, "Has the infection spread?"

Bai Xiuhong nodded.

Generally speaking, if the diabetic foot is screened very carefully, it will not easily lead to amputation.

Either vasodilator, pain, anti-infection treatment, or lower limb arterial cavity intervention, vascular bypass surgery, the worst result is amputation.

Some toes are amputated, and some toes will be amputated more if the infected area is large.

At this stage, it can be said that the situation is already very bad.

"Well, I'll teach you a method. You go back and try it. If you can, maybe you don't need amputation. If the effect is not satisfactory, then what the hospital says, you should do it." Lu Jiu said.

Bai Xiuhong said, "What way?"

"Go buy a few catties of sucrose, then put a basin of water, pour half a catty of sucrose down each time, and then soak your dad's feet. If pus and blood are sucked out, come to me and I'll make some Chinese medicine to help dad shut up. As long as the wound stops and the muscle and skin grow back, the foot shouldn't need to be amputated. Let me state in advance, don't expect me to cure your dad's diabetes. At most, I can only try to see if I can keep your dad's foot, understand?" Lu Jiu said.

Bai Xiuhong nodded repeatedly, "Understood, I'll go buy it right away."

"Remember, it must be pure sucrose. Forget it. If you buy it, you might get fake ones. I'll give you some from the stock here." Lu Jiu thought for a while, but she was still worried about Bai Xiuhong buying it. If she couldn't tell what was refined sugar from what was sucrose, once she used refined sugar to soak his father's feet, it would have no effect at all.

Lu Jiu himself didn't actually buy much. He walked to the medicine cabinet and lifted the bag of sucrose onto the scale. Seeing that there was still about a kilogram left, he took it all out and handed it to Bai Xiuhong, "Here, it's more than a kilogram here. You take it back and soak your father's feet, half a catty at a time, twice a day. Remember, if you don't get pus and blood out the first time, don't soak it."

Bai Xiuhong carefully wrote down, "Doctor Lu, how much is it?"

Lu Jiu said, "14 yuan."

Bai Xiuhong paid immediately, and then left Lu's Medical Center with the bag.

Looking at Bai Xiuhong's back, Lu Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

There are tens of millions of diabetic patients in the country, but unfortunately, there are very few doctors who can treat them.

……

Back at the hospital, Bai Xiuhong hurried to the twelfth floor of the inpatient department.

After arriving in Ward 1205, Bai Xiuhong saw her father lying on his side frowning, and immediately brought a washbasin from the bathroom.

Since having this diabetic foot, her father has never been out of the hospital. He has undergone several debridement operations, but the wound on his foot still cannot heal.

Bai Xiuhong knew that her father endured unimaginable pain every day. Even after taking painkillers, it was difficult to fall asleep. He could only squint for a while every day when the pain was unbearable. But even so, the brow on his forehead never relaxed.

She had never thought of seeking a Chinese medicine test before. If she hadn't been bored and found Lu Jiu on her mobile phone, and saw that he seemed to be really capable, she would not have gone to Lu Jiu's clinic to find him.

"Dad, come and soak your feet." After putting half a catty of sucrose into the water for a while, Bai Xiuhong woke up his father.

"What kind of foot bath?" Bai Chuan looked at the red water in the basin, not knowing why.

"The doctor suggested it, you should try it." Bai Xiuhong said.

"Didn't you say you can't get wet?" Bai Chuan is old, but he has a pretty good memory. He remembers that the doctor told him that the wound on his foot must not get wet, otherwise it will be very easy to get infected.

"This is what Chinese medicine said. Try it. If you can, your foot will be saved." Bai Xiuhong is now in a state of emergency.

"Really?" Bai Chuan himself didn't want to have his limb amputated, but the wound on his foot that never healed made him almost see no hope.

"Try it, come on." Bai Xiuhong pushed the basin closer.

Bai Chuan didn't think much about it. Since his daughter said so, he had to try everything. The next moment, Bai Chuan slowly put his feet into the washbasin. The moment the wound on his feet touched the water, a heart-piercing pain suddenly hit him. Bai Chuan took a breath and immediately pulled his feet back.

pain!
It hurts so much!
"Dad..." Bai Xiuhong looked at Bai Chuan nervously.

"It's okay..." Bai Chuan clenched his teeth, and after making a pre-set in his mind, he put his foot into the washbasin again. This time, the same pain came from his foot, but he didn't stop his foot, but stepped on it hard.

Bai Chuan's legs were still trembling, his hands were tightly clutching the bed sheet, his face was full of ferocity.

To be honest, if it weren't for the surgery these days that made him used to part of the pain, he would really not be able to help crying out at this moment.

It hurts so much!
It is more painful than after the operation and the anesthesia wears off.

But in order to keep his feet, he also had to try.

Slowly, over time, the pain in the foot seemed to get less and less.

I don't know if it's because Bai Chuan got used to it himself, or because of other reasons.

After a few minutes, Bai Chuan felt basically no pain, and even felt comfortable.

A few minutes later, Bai Xiuhong suddenly saw a yellow substance coming out of the washbasin, which seemed to come from the soles of Bai Chuan's feet.

Pus and blood! ?
Really suck it out?

"what are you doing!?"
