Chinese medicine practitioner tells tribunal he did not understand that the pancreas produced insulin
Yun Sen Luo was charged with manslaughter but found not guilty in 2022.
A Chinese medicine practitioner whose patient died after stopping her diabetes medication believed that toxins were responsible for high glucose levels, a tribunal has heard.
Yun Sen Luo was found not guilty of manslaughter in 2022 after telling a 57-year-old patient to stop her diabetes medication, 10 days before she died.
But on Thursday, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal found him guilty of professional misconduct.
The patient had consulted Mr Luo in 2018 for chronic eczema, when she mentioned she was taking medication — the tribunal did not specify what medication — for type 2 diabetes.
