AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and the relevant effect factors of 
      acupuncture for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in females. METHODS: Of 83 female 
      patients of T2DM, 49 cases were deficiency of kidney yin syndrome and 34 cases 
      were yin and yang deficiency syndrome. Acupuncture was adopted and the acupoints 
      were selected according to the syndrome differentiation. In kidney yin deficiency 
      syndrome, Taixi (KI 3), Shenmen (HT 7), Taichong (LR 3) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), 
      etc. were selected. In yin and yang deficiency syndrome, Shenshu (BL 23), Pishu 
      (BL 20), Yishu (Extra) and Jingmen (GB 25), etc. were selected. In 3 courses of 
      treatment, the changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), 
      insulin sensitivity index (ISI), insulin resistace index (Homa-IR), index of 
      islet beta-cell function (Homa-beta), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), 
      low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein 
      cholesterol (HDL-C) were compared before and after treatment between the two 
      groups. The relationship of the efficacy was analyzed in terms of the syndrome 
      differentiation, age, duration of sickness, obesity and hereditary factors. 
      RESULTS: After the treatment, the levels of FPG, FINS, Homa-IR, TC, TG and LDL-C 
      were reduced obviously (all P < 0.01) and the levels of ISI, Homa-beta and HDL-C 
      were increased apparently (all P < 0.01). The total clinical effective rate was 
      80.7% (67/83), in which, that of kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 83.7% (41/49) 
      and that of yin and yang deficiency syndrome was 76.5% (26/34). The efficacy was 
      not different significantly between the two syndromes. But, the younger the age 
      was, the better the efficacy was. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture positively regulates 
      the glucose and lipid metabolism in the patients of T2DM. This therapy improves 
      insulin resistance, enhances the body sensitivity to insulin and improves insulin 
      beta-cell function. The efficacy is related to the patient's age.
