Abstract | The management of Type 2 diabetes requires a multifaceted approach to achieve optimal glycemic control. This systematic review examines the impact of combining traditional medicine practices, such as herbal remedies, dietary supplements, traditional Chinese exercises, and plant-based diets, with standard diabetes management on HbA1c levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. A total of 10 studies, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, were analyzed. The findings indicate that most traditional medicine interventions, when combined with standard care, resulted in significant reductions in HbA1c levels, suggesting enhanced glycemic control. The most effective interventions included the Mediterranean diet, traditional Chinese exercises, and specific herbal remedies like cinnamon and ginseng. However, one study utilizing the chronic care model showed no significant improvement. This review highlights the potential of integrating traditional medicine practices into conventional diabetes management protocols for improved outcomes. Further large-scale, long-term studies are recommended to validate these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying the observed benefits. |
