Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore and describe how fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial 2 h Glucose (PP2h), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of a patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus can be reduced by treatment with Galgeun-tang herbal medicine. Methods: The patient was administered herbal medicine to reduce serum glucose levels. The prescribed herbal medicines included Galgeun-tang and Galgeun-tang-gami. Results: The therapeutic outcomes were control of blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and decreased insulin administration. Conclusion: The herbal medicine, Galgeun-tang, appears to be a valid treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Serum glucose (FBS/PP2hrs) and HbA1c were well controlled and insulin administration was decreased. Galgeun-tang was effective in controlling the daily glucose levels in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
