Diet and exercise have always been the key of behavioral intervention technology for diabetes. Many explanations in this regard are based on the subjective will of experts, so there are not only great differences between the schemes, but also lack of corresponding research basis. Experts in Shanghai universities have always attached great importance to this issue. For example, Professor Song Xixing of Shanghai Medical University pointed out: "In the 1950s, when Western countries such as Europe and the United States adopted low carbohydrate, high protein and high fat as recipes for treating diabetes, China advocated that the total calories in the diet should mainly come from carbohydrates (>: 50%), and the rest should come from sufficient protein and low fat. The recipes in our country are very similar to those in Japan. Practice has proved that the prescriptions of China and the East are more reasonable, and the chronic vascular complications are far less than those of the West. Western countries also recognize China's recipes, but because of different eating habits, it is difficult to stick to them for a long time "(quoted from Song Xixing's Modern Diabetes, Shanghai Medical University Press, 2000). This also shows that before this century, there has never been a comparative study of diabetes diet between the five-grain group and the five-grain group.

At the end of last century, Nie, a scholar of traditional Chinese medicine, paid attention to the description of diabetes by Chen Shiduo, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, in Dialectical Ice Guide: "Eating makes you thirsty, especially when you are hungry." Nie believes that Chen Shiduo, a Chinese medicine practitioner in the Qing Dynasty, noticed that the symptoms of diabetic patients were alleviated after eating grains, and the clinical symptoms were more obvious when they were hungry. And began to patiently verify the effect of grain liberalization for a long time. In 2007, Dr. Nie Wentao publicly advocated the liberalization of staple food, arguing that China people should be eight percent full, just like normal health standards. Moreover, the first discussion of behavioral medicine is to release food. Nie's monograph Diet Training and Diabetes Rehabilitation was published by Jilin University in 2007. A sample survey by Nie shows that 57 diabetic patients have symptoms such as thirst, excessive sweating and fatigue. The symptoms disappeared in 45 cases, and there was no obvious change in 8 cases. Four cases continued to develop after the staple food was released and cereal was used as a snack. This shows that even if the psychological effect cannot be eliminated, it is completely correct to put down food. Dr. Nie Wentao also directly explained "a strange blood sugar curve" in the technical training for hospitals, which is the food protection curve. Dr. Wang Ying of Tianjin Medical University attached great importance to the discovery of Gubao curve, which was regarded as a great achievement in the study of diabetic syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine. In the Technical Guide to Behavioral Medicine of Diabetes, which she co-authored with Dr. Nie, the efficacy of protecting the valley was clarified, which confirmed the authenticity of the records of ancient Chinese medicine masters that diabetes can be cured. At the same time, he pointed out: "Dr. Nie Wentao's trinity lifestyle of metabolic training, grain protection and exercise stimulation is aimed at somogyi phenomenon. Somogyi phenomenon is common in diabetic patients, that is, hyperglycemia occurs after short-term hypoglycemia. This shows that hyperglycemia often comes from hypoglycemia stimulation. This brings difficulties to traditional drug treatment. Forcibly lowering blood sugar is actually equivalent to cultivating the root cause of hyperglycemia more firmly. Elevated blood sugar may further aggravate hyperglycemia. Grain protection is based on the theory of physiological habits and strictly distinguishes the process of food metabolism from the result of food metabolism, so pay attention to the difference between grain and glucose. "

Dr. Wang Ying put forward the Technical Guide to Behavioral Medicine of Diabetes, which was recommended as the first author by the collaborators when it was published. Therefore, it was awarded "Outstanding Contribution Award for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 30 Years of Reform and Opening-up" by China International Medical Foundation and China National Health Association. Dr Wang Ying made it clear that his grain consumption was inspired by Chen Shiduo. 1) Excavating the heritage of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be based on the research results of modern medicine. Nie Wentao believes that when modern medical theory conflicts with Chinese medicine practice, we should develop modern medical theory instead of abandoning practice. Otherwise, it's cutting your feet and fitting your shoes.

(2) Ancient skeptics should question the records of ancient documents through experimental evidence, instead of subjectively assuming that ancient documents are untrue according to their own study habits: this is a disrespect for the work of ancient scholars.
