Methods: A systematic search was conducted in databases such as PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov using relevant keywords from January 1990 to January 2024. After screening and extracting data, a qualitative evaluation of articles was performed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2).

While previous studies have emphasized the effectiveness of multidisciplinary collaborative stewardship for hospital-wide hyperglycemia management, patient perspectives and preferences have not been adequately considered. Objective: To identify factors influencing treatment preferences of Chinese hospitalized diabetes patients using discrete choice experiments (DCEs) and provide practical insights for the construction of a hospital-wide glycemic control programme. Methods: A face-to-face survey was conducted among diabetes patients admitted to nonendocrine departments in a tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China. The attributes and levels were determined based on DCE principles, and a conditional logit model was used to quantify patients' preferences. Results: A total of 157 respondents were analyzed. Antihyperglycemic effectiveness, healthcare providers, treatment regimen, monitoring frequency, and adverse reactions were the five attributes that significantly influenced patient preference (p < 0.05). Notably, an 80% glycemic control rate (β = 2.009) and a multidisciplinary management team involving clinical pharmacists (β = 1.346) had the greatest impact. Negative effects were observed for hypoglycemia (β = -1.008), insulin pump use (β = -0.746), and frequent glucose monitoring (β = -0.523). Female patients exhibited higher concern for healthcare providers (β = 1.172) compared to males. Younger and shorter-course patients prioritized antihyperglycemic effectiveness (β = 3.330, β = 1.510), while older patients preferred multidisciplinary management (β = 1.186) and opposed increased monitoring frequency (β = -0.703). Patients with higher educational backgrounds showed greater acceptance of continuous glucose monitoring (β = 1.983), and those with higher annual income placed more emphasis on glycemic control rate. Conclusion: Treatment preferences of hospitalized diabetes patients are mainly influenced by antihyperglycemic effectiveness, adverse reactions, healthcare providers, and individual characteristics.

Materials and Methods: DJB and sham surgeries were performed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats. The blood GLP-1 and GLP-2 levels were evaluated under feeding and fasting conditions. The expression of STRs (T1R2, T1R3), sweet taste signaling effector (Gα-gustducin), SGLT1, and GLUT2 was detected in the intestinal alimentary limb (A limb), biliopancreatic limb (BP limb), and common limb (C limb). The effects of STR inhibition on glucose control were measured with lactisole. Results: Glucose tolerance was improved in DJB-operated rats compared with the sham group, similar to that of normal control rats, without significant differences in food intake and body weight. The plasma GLP-1 levels of DJB rats were increased under diet-fed condition, and GLP-2 levels were increased after fasting. The villus height and crypt depth were significantly increased in the A limb of DJB-operated rats. In addition, GLP-1 expression was restored in enterocytes. The expression of T1R2, Gα-gustducin, and SGLT1 was elevated in the A limb after DJB, while GLUT2 was downregulated in the A, BP, and C limbs. The localization of GLUT2 was normalized in the three intestinal limbs after DJB. However, the beneficial effects of DJB on glucose control were abolished in the presence of lactisole in vivo.
