Diabetic osteoporosis in western medicine is characterized by abnormal physiological structure and metabolic function of bone tissue under a hyperglycemic state,including prolonged hyperglycemia,vascular damage and blood circulation dysfunction,lip-id metabolism abnormalities and hormonal imbalances.Combined with Professor WU Yiling's theory of"endocrine dysfunction in Qi-collateral pathology and microcirculation disorders in vascular-collateral pathology"in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the basic TCM pathogenesis of diabetic osteoporosis can be summarized as spleen and kidney deficiency,obstruction of collaterals,bone-collaterals malnourishment,eventually leading to the occurrence and development of the disease.
