A 30 year old female patient suffering from metabolic syndrome, who was diagnosed with hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and diabetes 2 years ago, was treated with Traditional Korean Medicine including acupuncture, herbal medicine and tuina for one month. After the treatments, her fasting blood sugar level was remarkably decreased (from 304 ㎎/㎗ to 74 ㎎/㎗).
And the levels of blood lipids were decreased as well ; the level of TG was decreased from 330 ㎎/㎗ to 90 ㎎/㎗, the level of total cholesterol was decreased from 217 ㎎/㎗ to 111 ㎎/㎗, the level of LDL was decreased from 119 ㎎/㎗ to 53 ㎎/㎗). The waist circumference was also decreased from 96 ㎝ to 90.5 ㎝. Korean Medical therapies may bring a new clue for the treatment of metabolic syndrome with diabetes
