Conditions

Summary

The management of diabetes is of great value in reducing the risk of complications and alleviating the socioeconomic burden. Currently, the diabetes management models in China have not effectively integrated the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. They also fail to achieve intelligent and automated management, resulting in high management costs and low efficiency. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore a new, efficient, convenient, low - cost, and personalized long - distance, full - course, intelligent management model for diabetes that integrates TCM and Western medicine both online and offline. Based on this, our research group plans to rely on the pre - designed and developed Idata database. We will deeply integrate the diagnostic and treatment advantages of TCM constitution differentiation and Western medical examinations and laboratory tests, construct an automated follow - up path, and build an integrated online diabetes management platform for Internet hospitals, which consists of "intelligent hardware + APP + cloud services + a back - end think - tank of TCM and Western medicine experts + a back - end professional management and care team". This initiative aims to blaze a new trail in the field of long - distance, full - course, and personalized management of diabetes through the synergy of TCM and Western medicine for Chinese diabetes patients. We expect to significantly reduce the incidence of diabetes complications, remarkably improve the overall health status and quality of life of patients, and bring unprecedented positive impacts on the well - being of diabetes patients.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing a combined traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine approach to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar over the long term. You may be eligible if: - You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, confirmed by symptoms (like excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss) AND blood tests showing: - Fasting blood sugar at or above 7.0 mmol/L, OR - A random blood sugar reading at or above 11.1 mmol/L, OR - An HbA1c (3-month average blood sugar) of 6.5% or higher - Or your fasting and 2-hour glucose test both meet diabetes thresholds You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a serious illness that would make it hard to follow the study program, such as active cancer, a severe autoimmune disease, serious infection, multiple organ failure, or a significant mental health condition Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTIntegrated TCM-Western Medicine Intelligent Diabetes Management Platform

This intervention is a comprehensive, technology-enabled management strategy. It utilizes an integrated smart platform comprising connected devices (e.g., glucose meters, blood pressure monitors), a mobile application (APP), and cloud services. Participants undergo an initial combined assessment based on Western medicine examinations and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution diagnosis (via questionnaire and tongue image analysis). The platform's algorithms then generate a personalized, automated remote management pathway. This includes customized reminders for monitoring, medication, and follow-ups; tailored lifestyle and health education advice integrating TCM and WM principles; and access to daily online consultations from a backend multidisciplinary expert team (endocrinologists, TCM physicians, nutritionists). The management plan is dynamically optimized every 3 months based on continuous data analysis, forming a closed-loop management system.
