Regarding Adzuki Bean Gel, the effects reported by Western medicine research are mostly limited to animal experiments. For diabetic patients, if they have symptoms such as anemia, palpitations, dry cough, hemoptysis, or blood deficiency after childbirth, it is recommended that they choose it under the guidance of a doctor. The traditional Chinese medicine dietary formula can include 3 grams of Coptis chinensis, 6 grams of Paeonia lactiflora, 5 grams of Adzuki Bean Gel, and 1 egg. First, boil 500 milliliters of water with Coptis chinensis and Paeonia lactiflora, remove the residue, add the烊ized Adzuki Bean Gel， and mix it with the egg white. Take it orally before going to bed， and continue for 7 days. It is used for diabetes patients with insomnia， which is caused by ascending heart fire and deficient heart blood. It has the effects of nourishing blood and calming the mind， as well as clearing heat and reducing fire. If the diabetic patient does not have the above symptoms， there is no need to use Adzuki Bean Gel. Traditional Chinese medicine calls diabetes “Xiao Ke” disease， which is divided into three types： upper， middle， and lower. It often adopts methods such as generating body fluid to stop thirst， clearing heat and moistening the lungs， clearing stomach and reducing fire， nourishing yin and generating body fluid， and nourishing yin and supplementing the kidney for regulation. Therefore， the selection of traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy should be based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. One must not blindly supplement without a diagnosis. In necessary cases， one can listen to the advice of a nutritionist.
