Abstract

If we review what is in the medical literature, most studies say that type 2 diabetes comes from hormonal and metabolic imbalances generated by the obese patient. According to the article written by Nguyen (2010) entitled Relationship Between Obesity and Diabetes in a US Adult Population: Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2006, the prevalence of diabetes increases with high weight classes. But only half of the diabetes adults’ patients were considered obese. In this article, he is suggesting that weight loss is an important aim nowadays to reduce the impact of diabetes in the health care system [1]. The author will write this article according to Hippocrates (460 bce - 375 bce), father of Medicine, who said that we should follow older medicines, before current medical practice. So, the doctor will explain this theme according to the teachings of traditional Chinese medicine [2]. If we look at the article written by Huang [3] entitled Why Are Diabetic Patients Still Having Hyperglycemia Despite Diet Regulation, Antiglycemic Medication and Insulin? and if we look at the energy alterations of obese patients, published by Huang [3] in an article entitled Energy Alterations in Obese Patients, if we look at it from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, which exists for more than 5,000 years, we can observe that what the two diseases have in common are energy imbalances or deficiencies in the five internal massive organs [4,5].
