Diabetic autonomic neuropathy(DAN) is one of the chronic complications of diabetic nervous system. Because of dysfunction of the sweat gland dominating by the nervous system and aberration of temperature regulation, many DAN patients clinically presents a series symptoms of dysfunction of decanting sweat, such as, sweating increased when tired or nervous, chest, neck, head or other specific parts sweating abnormal, or sweating when sleeping. But modern medicine lacks effective treatment measures. The main treatment is taking oral drugs that can repair nervous. Severe cases can choose surgical treatment, which is difficult to solve the patients’ distress and inconvenience caused by excessive sweating.Abnormal sweating caused by DAN assigned as “Xiaoke” and “sweat syndrome”. The Chinese medicine has a more profound understanding and prominent effect.
