Research progress of TCM regulating intestinal flora in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

2型糖尿病是一种常见的代谢性疾病。近年来,我国2型糖尿病患者的数量逐年增多。此病已成为威胁我国居民健康的主要疾病之一。人在生命的各阶段均与微生物及其代谢产物有着紧密的联系,微生物能够与宿主共同构成“共生功能体”。正常情况下,微生物与宿主之间处于动态平衡的状态,当这种动态平衡状态被打破时,就可能引起包括2型糖尿病在内的多种疾病。多种中医疗法(针灸疗法、中药疗法等)对肠道菌群均有正向调节的作用。采用中医疗法对肠道菌群进行调节可治疗2型糖尿病。本文主要是总结采用中医药疗法调节肠道菌群在治疗2型糖尿病方面的研究进展。
