Diabetes is a crucial problem that the world is facing, especially type 2 diabetes because of the large number of patients and the death brought by it. This paper compares specifically two treatments of type 2 diabetes – low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and Chinese traditional medicine (CTM), through an RCT. Participants are randomly assigned to three groups – low carbohydrate diet group, Chinese traditional medicine group and the control group. The conclusion got from the comparisons between the data of three groups shows that both LCD and CTM are effective in treating type 2 diabetes since they show statistically significant decreases in blood glucose levels, A1c levels, and waist circumferences, and there is no statistically significant difference between their effectiveness. This work proves the validity of the two treatments and provides the foundation for further research on the treatments of both type 1 and 2 diabetes.
