Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The HbA1c was measured and analyzed twice, one is before the treatment and the other is 12 weeks aftertreatment to make a self comparison.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)、postprandial 2 hours plasma glucose(2hPG)、body mass index (BMI)、waist circumference (WC) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • symptoms score and Chinese syndrome [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • The rate of adverse events,the blood and urine and stool routine examination, electrocardiogram (ECG)and liver and kidney function tests [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The number of participants with adverse events were recorded and compared. The blood and urine and stool routine examination, electrocardiogram (ECG)and liver and kidney function tests were measured and observe the safety.

Detailed Description:

Two hundred and ten of overweight patients inflicted with primary diabetes mellitus who had stagnated heat of liver and stomach syndrome were recruited, which were randomly divided into 3 groups, and were given high-dosage (12g Tang-min-ling pills every time), low-dosage (6g Tang-min-ling pills every time)、placebo by 3 times every day for 12 weeks respectively. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)、postprandial 2 hours plasma glucose(2hPG)、syndrome、symptoms、body mass index (BMI)、waist circumference (WC) of these groups were measured and analyzed. Some safety indexes such blood and urine and stool routine examination, electrocardiogram (ECG)and liver and kidney function tests were measured and analyzed during the experiment. The treatment period is 12 week.
