(Note: Fasting blood glucose test requires at least 8 hours without eating calories; those without typical symptoms of diabetes need to be re-examined for confirmation on another day, and at least two abnormal blood sugar can be diagnosed); (3) Diagnostic criteria of TCM symptoms: mandatory symptoms: yellow and greasy tongue coating; visible symptoms: heavy limbs, dry mouth and bitter taste, abdominal distention, lack of appetite, sticky stool, slippery pulse. Those who meet 1 must-see symptom + 1 or more visible symptoms are diagnosed as damp-heat syndrome (the pulse condition is only recorded and not used as a judgment standard); each symptom is divided into four grades of 0, 1, 2, and 3 according to the severity; (4) Regular hypoglycemic treatment, satisfying fasting blood glucose <9.0mmol/L or HbA1C <8%; (5) No lipid-lowering drug treatment in the past 2 weeks, blood pressure level does not exceed 160/100mmHg; (6) Sign the Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and other types of non-type 2 diabetes; (2) Those who have a history of critical illness such as diabetic ketosis, non-ketotic hyperosmolar diabetic coma, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, malignant hypertension, etc. in the past 6 months; (3) Those who are allergic or intolerant to Zhenzhu Tiaozhi Capsule or its components; (4) Those with severe respiratory, digestive, blood, circulatory and other systemic primary diseases and current serious infections and mental illnesses; (5) Patients with chronic gastrointestinal disease or chronic malnutrition, anemia or abnormal hemoglobin disease; (6) Transaminases AST or ALT are greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal, and serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen is greater than the upper limit of normal; (7) Pregnancy or lactation and planned pregnancy; (8) Patients who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs or are participating in other clinical trials within 3 months before participating in this trial; (9) Those who have taken drugs that may affect the intestinal flora in the past 2 months, such as antibiotics, berberine, laxatives, bifidobacteria, gastrointestinal motility drugs, etc.; (10) Those who have received external enema therapy within 1 month of sampling.
