Abstract: China has the highest number of diabetic patients globally. With the aging of the population and the rapid growth of overweight and obese population in China, combined with various reasons such as work and life pressure, lack of physical activity, environmental degradation and genetic factors, the morbidity of diabetes is growing each year. In the meantime, the world’s COVID-19 pandemic has increased the probability of hospitalization of diabetic patients. The treatment expenses for diabe-tes are four times higher than those for other diseases, posing a significant threat to patients’ phys-ical and mental health, as well as their economy. Therefore, early diagnosis, treatment and preven-tion of diabetes are crucial. This paper provides an overview of the clinical advancements in both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.
