Cautions and Contraindications

This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.

Patients should not stop using their drug treatment abruptly as there is a risk of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. Herbal and drug treatments should overlap for one to two weeks before patients begin tapering off their drug treatment, in order to ensure adequate control of blood glucose levels.

Equilibrium may reduce the dosage and frequency of insulin injection needed; however, Equilibrium can never replace insulin, especially in type I diabetes mellitus patients. Patients with type I diabetes mellitus should always be treated with insulin, or the combination of insulin and herbs, and should continue to test their blood glucose regularly.

This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation, such as Dan Shen (Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae). Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising
