Can people with high blood sugar take Astragalus membranaceus oral liquid?

Patients with high blood sugar can take Astragalus oral liquid, but they should choose sugar-free formulations. Astragalus oral liquid primarily functions to nourish the blood and vital energy (Qi) and to strengthen the body's resistance, making it suitable for symptoms such as Qi deficiency and blood insufficiency. However, it does not directly help lower blood sugar levels. Therefore, patients with high blood sugar should continue following their doctor's guidance for glycemic control while maintaining a light diet, avoiding high-sugar foods, and closely monitoring their blood sugar levels. Additionally, although Astragalus oral liquid is a traditional Chinese medicine with relatively few toxic side effects, excessive or long-term use may still irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort. Thus, patients should strictly adhere to medical advice when taking Astragalus oral liquid and avoid adjusting the dosage or extending the duration of treatment on their own.
