Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the management of blood glucose in diabetes mellitus using modified Jawonjihwang-tang in a Korean medical clinic, retrospectively. Methods: From 2006 to 2018, 150 patients diagnosed with diabetes who visited a Korean medical clinic were treated with Korean medicine. Then, 81 of them were prescribed Jawonjihwang-tang. Five cases who changed the formula during the procedure were excluded; therefore, 76 cases were finally selected. Their therapeutic effects were evaluated by the variance in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Results: After administration of Jawonjihwang-tang, most patients exhibited a decreased level of HbA1c, and 24 patients had normalized the level of HbA1c. The HbA1c level of all patients decreased from 9.1±2.2 to 7.8±2.2 significantly (p<0.001). Conclusions: It is concluded that Jawonjihwang-tang may control blood glucose in diabetes patients. However, more prospective randomized clinical trials are warranted to verify this conclusion.
