Q I have diabetes. Won't taking herbal medicine for a long time strain my blood sugar or liver?
A A Korean medicine doctor prescribes considering your diabetes and stomach condition together, minimizing the burden. Properly prescribed herbal medicine is managed with blood sugar and liver function in mind, and you can monitor blood sugar as usual while taking it.
Detailed Answer
There's a common vague worry that herbal medicine strains blood sugar or the liver, but herbal medicine properly prescribed and taken per a Korean medicine doctor's diagnosis is managed so as not to cause such effects. For those with diabetes, we prescribe considering that condition too, and you can confirm changes by monitoring blood sugar as usual while taking it.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Rather, herbal medicine can aid the weakened stomach's digestive and absorptive movement to settle the stomach and help food be absorbed evenly. If you have any discomfort or blood sugar changes while taking it, tell us right away and we'll adjust the composition—we treat with safety first.
