rigorous scientific methodology. Clinical trial literature of
Chinese medicine treatments for Type 2 diabetes mellitus are

medicine, acupuncture and other Chinese medicine therapies. The
findings are analysed and potential implications for clinical
practice and research are explored. Experimental studies that
describe the potential mechanisms of action of key herbs are
summarised. Current evidence of Chinese medicine for Type 2
diabetes mellitus is synthesised in the final chapter, and
suggestions for contemporary clinical practice and future research
are also offered.Targeted at clinicians and students of Chinese and
integrative medicine, this book is a convenient reference that
provides comprehensive synthesis of both classical and contemporary
knowledge, which can support and be incorporated into their
clinical practice.
