ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effects of Huayu Jiedu decoction combined with wet compress in treating type 2 diabetes complicated with lower limb erysipelas.

MethodsSixty patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with lower limb erysipelas were randomly divided into the control group and treatment group(30 cases each group).All patients were treated with diabetic diet, exercise and drug to control the blood glucose.The control group was treated with HuangLianJieDu decoction by oral combined with wet compress of magnesium sulfate, and the treatment group was treated with Huayu Jiedu decoction by oral combined with wet compress of traditional Chinese medicine.The process method of oral decoction in two groups was the same, and the decoction was orally taken in the morning and evening.The wet compress in two groups was given twice a day, 30 min/time, for 14 days.The levels of body temperature, white blood cell(WBC), neutrophil percentage(N%), C reactive protein(CRP), and curative effect in two groups were observed.

ResultsBefore and after treatment, the differences of the levels of FPG, ALT and Cr between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The difference of the levels of body temperature, WBC, N% and CRP before and after treatment, and temperature after treatment between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The levels of WBC, N% and CRP in two groups after treatment changed significantly compared with before treatment(P < 0.01), and the differences of WBC, N% and CRP level after treatment were statistically significant(P < 0.01).The effective rate in treatment group was 93.99%, which was significantly better than that in control group(80.00%)(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsHuayu Jiedu decoction combined with wet compress can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of type 2 diabetes complicated with lower limb erysipelas, control the body temperature, and reduce the inflammation, and has good safety.The clinical effect of which is better than that of Huanglian JieDu decoction combine with magnesium sulfate wet compress, and safe.
