Has cinobufotalin, a traditional Chinese medicine, obtained the national patent for treating diabetes?

Dr. Zhang from Shaanxi Yongfu Traditional Chinese Medicine Diabetes Hospital found a Chinese medicine-cinobufotalin in clinic, which can effectively eliminate insulin resistance. This technology began to apply for national patent on 20 13, and after five years' efforts, it finally obtained the invention patent certificate issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration on April 27th this year.

At present, the incidence of diabetes in China is blowout. The number of diabetic patients in China is1.1.400 million, with an average annual increase of more than 5 million cases. This makes China a big country with diabetes in the world. This situation has a lot to do with the current treatment of diabetes, so what is the root of diabetes treatment? The first is to improve islet function, and the second is to eliminate insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance refers to the phenomenon that the biological effect of a certain amount of insulin is lower than the expected normal level. 90% of patients with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. Once insulin resistance occurs, glucose in the blood cannot be fully absorbed by cells. The body's blood sugar metabolism no longer circulates naturally and then enters the blood. Eventually, pancreatic β cells will fail, no longer secrete insulin, and blood sugar will only remain high. Therefore, patients have to rely on artificial insulin to maintain their lives.

Dr. Zhang discovered this traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials from clinical practice, and insulin resistance can be eliminated in one course of treatment. Once the problem of insulin resistance is solved, it can not only control blood sugar, but also protect pancreatic β cells secreting insulin for a long time. The invention of this patented technology provides a new platform and way for Chinese medicine to treat diabetes.
