AIM:To improve the efficacy pathological changes of retinal microvessel in the early damp-heat diabetic patients from TCM theory of shuganlizhuo. <p>METHODS: Totally 56 patients with early damp-heat diabetic, 28 cases in treatment group and another 28 cases in control group. The treatment group treated with shuganlizhuo prescription(Shuhe capsules), the control group with Acarbose, all in a row with three courses. TCM syndrome manifestations, visual acuity, field of vision, as well as 2h postprandial blood glucose(P2HBG)and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)between the two groups before and after treatment were observed. <p>RESULTS: The treatment group was able to significantly improve the TCM symptoms(<i>P</i><0.01), P2HBG, and HbA1c, improved visual acuity(<i>P</i><0.05), reduced visual field defects MD average values(<i>P</i><0.01).<p>CONCLUSION: The method of shuganlizhuo has improved micro lesions of early damp-heat diabetic retinal effects may be related to improve the systemic symptoms.
