Abstract: OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical effects of integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in treating senile diabetes and explore proper community management for diabetes in our country and improve the therapeutic effect of diabetes treatment. METHODS All cases were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group and experiment group) after intervention. The control group (46 cases) were treated by comprehensive western treatment， while experiment group (44 cases) were given both comprehensive western treatment and Chinese patent. Changes of blood pressure， blood glucose， glycocylated hemoglobin and life quality score were observed in two groups. RESULTS After intervention， levels of fasting blood glucose in two groups both decreased compared to that of pre-intervention (P<0.05). Decreased levels of fasting blood glucose showed statistical difference between them (P<0.01). There was no difference in levels of postprandial blood glucose before and after treatment (P>0.05); both levels of glycocylated hemoglobin in two groups decreased (P<0.05)， and the experiment group were much more obvious than that of control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance between two groups in differences of systolic and diastolic pressures before and after treatment (P>0.05). When it comes to life quality， vitality (VT)， mental health (MH) scores， the experiment group got improvement (P<0.05) and the psychological evaluation score was higher after treatment (P<0.05). In control group， general health (GH)， vitality (VT)， mental health (MH)， and psychological evaluation got improvement after treatment， which is significant statistically (P<0.05). While the difference between two groups didn't show any statistical significance (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Comprehensive intervention is successful in dealing with chronic diseases like diabetes and integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is effective in treating senile diabetes.
