Nothing better than be a diabetes patient myself - 6

Even before going for a short photo trip last Saturday, I found that my throat was burning and I kept on coughing. This means that the so called heat in the body has moved to the throat. In fact, a week ago, I had suffered pain in top right teeth. The pain was not in a fixed area and that proved to me that the teeth had nothing wrong.

I told my Doctor this Monday and he changed the medicine to deal with the throat first. Will this change delay my recovery from diabetes? Not really, it is because no matter where the 'heat' is, the medicine to release the 'heat' will be good for the body as a whole.

For those who have no knowledge about Chinese medicine, it may not easy to understand such kind of treatment. In simple words, the organs of the body are functioning interactively. If we have some bad thing, 'heat', it can move from one part to another. The Chinese medicine is not killing the 'heat' directly. It is released through the excretion function. This is the goal, but the 'heat' may go to other areas first, especially those weaker parts.

I have mentioned the numbness of my fingers and feet. The numbness has reduced gradually; it is much less frequent now. That is a vital sign for recovery. I believe the blur eye sight would be the last part to recover. The two tests this week stay at 150 exactly. From two plus to one plus may require more time.
