International Journal of Molecular Medical Science, 2024, Vol.14, No.6, 380-392 http://medscipublisher.com/index.php/ijmms 390 The future of individualized dietary therapy in diabetes management looks promising, particularly with the integration of TCM constitution identification. As more high-quality research is conducted, the evidence base for TCM dietary interventions will continue to grow, providing stronger support for their efficacy and safety. Advances in technology, such as mobile health apps, are also expected to play a significant role. These apps can incorporate TCM principles to offer personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations, making it easier for individuals to follow constitution-specific guidelines. Furthermore, combining TCM with conventional Western medicine could lead to more comprehensive and effective treatment strategies, as evidenced by studies showing the benefits of integrative approaches in managing diabetes. Continued collaboration between TCM practitioners and researchers will be essential to refine these interventions and ensure they are based on robust scientific evidence. TCM constitution identification is a valuable tool in the dietary management of diabetes, offering a personalized approach that can improve patient outcomes. The integration of modern technology and ongoing research will further enhance the development and application of individualized dietary therapies, paving the way for more effective and holistic diabetes management strategies.
