Meta AnalysisA systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese patent medicine Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
At present, a large number of people in the world are suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2DM), so it is urgent to develop effective treatment measures of T2DM. In China, many clinical studies have shown that Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet (JQJTT), a traditional Chinese patent medicine (TCPM), has a good effect in the treatment of T2DM. This systematic review and meta-analysis is intended to assess the efficacy and safety of JQJTT plus conventional therapy in the treatment of T2DM. ⋯ The available evidence indicates that JQJTT combined with conventional therapy for treating T2DM has a good performance in regulating glycolipid metabolism and improving insulin resistance. However, due to the limitations of this systematic review, the results should be interpreted with caution.
