Popis: Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of the Qingre Yiqi method in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with meta-analysis. Method. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the Qingre Yiqi method in the treatment of T2DM in the PubMed, Medline, EMBase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Weipu Journal, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), and Wanfang database were conducted. Three reviewers independently conducted the screening, extracted the data, and assessed methodological quality. Data analysis was performed using Rev Man 5.3 software for statistical analysis. Results. A total of 15 RCTs, including 1440 patients, were included. The results showed that compared with oral hypoglycemic drugs alone, the add-on treatment of the Qingre Yiqi method could significantly improve Chinese medicine syndrome (OR (95%CI) = 3.66 [2.47,5.42], P < 0.00001 ) and lower the level of HbA1c (MD (95%CI) = −0.68 [0.91, −0.45], P < 0.00001 ), triglyceride (TG) (MD (95%CI) = −0.38 [−0.58,-0.17], P = 0.0004 ), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (MD (95%CI) = −0.25 [−0.37, −0.13], P < 0.0001 ), and total cholesterol(TC) (MD(95%CI) = −0.40[−0.67, −0.13], P = 0.003 ). In terms of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood sugar (PBG), subgroup analysis showed that the baseline of FBG and the number of combined oral hypoglycemic drugs of PBG were the major sources of heterogeneity. Conclusion. Compared with the standard treatment, the Qingre Yiqi method along with oral hypoglycemic drugs showed the more beneficial effects for T2DM on improving TCM syndromes and reducing the blood glucose and partial lipid parameter.
