Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Diabetic Mellitus is the fifth cause of death by the report of Department of Health in 2008, and it often cause the severity of other chronic diseases. Neuropathy, retinopathy and renopathy are the most prevalent complications of DM, and they often influence the quality of life.

300 patients with Diabetic neuropathy will be recruited in Taichung Veterans General Hospital endocrine and metabolism clinics. Body Constitution Questionnaire(BCQ), Diabetes Impact Measurement Scales(DIMS), Short Form -36(SF-36) will be asked to filled up, neurological examination (NE), AC sugar, HbA1c, lipid profiles, liver and kidney functions will be measured in order to evaluate the correlation between body constitution and quality of life on patients with diabetic complication.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Diabetic Mellitus is the fifth cause of death by the report of Department of Health in 2008, and it often cause the severity of other chronic diseases. Neuropathy, retinopathy and renopathy are the most prevalent complications of DM, and they often influence the quality of life.

Traditional Chinese Medicine was often prescribed to treat diabetic complications and improve the quality of life .But the study of objective evaluation of diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine was few . It is important to analyze population of specific disease with well developed Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic tool with good validation and consistency.
