Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia which results from one or both of decreased insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance. Chronic hyperglycemia causes damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. The major goal in treating diabetes mellitus is controlling elevated blood sugars without causing abnormally low levels of blood sugar. A 67-year-old woman was admitted with hyperglycemia, thirst, Lt. leg numbness and both leg weakness. The patient was diagnosed as So-gal(消渴) due to dry ness-heat based on yin-deficiency(陰虛燥熱) through oriental medicine and NIDDM through western medicine. The patient was treated with oriental and western medicines. Specifically herbal medicine(Gamijihwangtang), acupuncture, moxa theraphy were used as well as oral medications. Clinical symptoms improved and hyperglycemia dramatically stablized.
