1) Random blood sugar >=11.1mmol/L;
2) Fasting blood glucose >=7.0 mmol/L;
3) 2h blood glucose >=11.1mmol/L after 75g glucose load;
4) HbA1c>=6.5%. (Note: Fasting blood glucose test requires at least 8 hours without eating calories; those without typical symptoms of diabetes need to be re-examined for confirmation on another day, and at least two abnormal blood sugar can be diagnosed);
(3) Diagnostic criteria of TCM symptoms: mandatory symptoms: yellow and greasy tongue coating; visible symptoms: heavy limbs, dry mouth and bitter taste, abdominal distention, lack of appetite, sticky stool, slippery pulse. Those who meet 1 must-see symptom + 1 or more visible symptoms are diagnosed as damp-heat syndrome (the pulse condition is only recorded and not used as a judgment standard); each symptom is divided into four grades of 0, 1, 2, and 3 according to the severity;
(4) Regular hypoglycemic treatment, satisfying fasting blood glucose <9.0mmol/L or HbA1C <8%;
(5) No lipid-lowering drug treatment in the past 2 weeks, blood pressure level does not exceed 160/100mmHg;
(6) Sign the Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion Criteria

(1) Patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and other types of non-type 2 diabetes;

(6) Transaminases AST or ALT are greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal, and serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen is greater than the upper limit of normal;
(7) Pregnancy or lactation and planned pregnancy;
(8) Patients who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs or are participating in other clinical trials within 3 months before participating in this trial;
(9) Those who have taken drugs that may affect the intestinal flora in the past 2 months, such as antibiotics, berberine, laxatives, bifidobacteria, gastrointestinal motility drugs, etc.;
