The treatment group was treated by syndrome-differentiated acupuncture in addition to the treatment mentioned above in control group. Two weeks later, the blood sugar, symptom integral score, HOMA index, the islands function in the first phase and in the second phase of two groups were compared. [Results] The total effective rate of treatment group was superior to the control group. (P<0.05) In the aspect of blood sugar control and symptom improvement, the treatment group was better than the control group.
