Abstract：Objective To research the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome type and several clinical indi-cators in type 2 diabetes mel itus(T2DM).Methods In accordance with the relevant guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of TCM syndrome differentiation,one hundred and sixty two patients with T2DM were divided into 5 groups:spleen damp heat syndrome, yin deficiency and heat syndrome,Qi and yin deficiency syndrome,blood stasis syndrome,yin and yang deficiency syndrome.Cho-lesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),2 hour postprandial plas-ma glucose(PPG),homocysteine (Hcy),C reactive protein (CRP)were observed.The relations between TCM syndrome type and TC,TG,HbA1c,FPG,PPG,Hcy,CRP were analyzed.Results TCM syndrome types in patients with T2DM was as fol ows in turn:spleen damp heat syndrome,yin deficiency and heat syndrome,Qi and yin deficiency syndrome,blood stasis syndrome,yin and yang deficiency syndrome.The levels of TC,TG in patients with spleen damp heat syndrome were higher than that in in patients with other syndrome types(P<0.05).The levels of HbA1c,FPG,PPG in patients with yin deficiency and heat syndrome were higher than that in in patients with other syndrome types(P<0.05).The levels of Hcy in patients with blood stasis syndrome were higher than that in patients with other syndrome types(P<0.05).The levels of CRP in patients with yin and yang deficiency syndrome were high-er than that in patients with other syndrome types(P<0.05).Conclusion The main TCM syndrome type in patients with T2DM is spleen damp heat syndrome.There is some correlation between syndrome type and the levels of TC,TG,HbA1c,FPG,PPG,Hcy, CRP in patients with T2DM.
