Background: There are several treatments to cure type 2 diabetes (T2D) and every one of them has certain attributes which is lead patients and specialists to have different preferences and select power. Therefore, we did this systematic study to evaluate patients̓ and physicians̓ preferences for type 2 diabetes medications by extracting attributes of anti-diabetic medications and identifying their relative importance.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, Ovid, Web of science, Scopus and Embase databases for articles which have been published on or before May 8th, 2018(The start time of the search in our study was May 8th, 2018).

Results: The searches identified 3346 studies, of which 17 (from 2009 to 2017) were included in the final synthesis and 27 attributes of type 2 anti-diabetic have been investigated. The most important attributes are changes of blood glucose and HbA1c level, hypoglycemia events, weight changes, gastrointestinal complications, cardiovascular effects, medicines cost, and administration mode and dosage of medicines.

Conclusion: physicians and patients prefer antidiabetics which is reduce blood glucose and HbA1c level effectively and have low side effects too (hypoglycemic event, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal). The effect of weight reduction, low cost, low dosing and low frequency of using. Health care providers, Specialist, and manufacturers should consider to these attributes in treatment process and marketing. It can increase adherence to management approaches, and reduce morbidity of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Department of Endocrinology, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, and First People's Hospital of Nantong City, No.666 Shengli Road, Nantong, 226001, China.

Background: Increased glucagon levels are now recognized as a pathophysiological adaptation to counteract overnutrition in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to elucidate the role of glucagon in peripheral nerve function in patients with T2D with different body mass indices (BMIs).

Methods: We consecutively enrolled 174 individuals with T2D and obesity (T2D/OB, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m), and 480 individuals with T2D and nonobesity (T2D/non-OB, BMI < 28 kg/m), all of whom underwent oral glucose tolerance tests to determine the area under the curve for glucagon (AUC).

The second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xinjiang Hospital (People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Bainiaohu Hospital), Urumqi, Xinjiang, 830026, People's Republic of China.

Background: Several studies showed higher risks of cardiovascular complications to have been observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter have been more pronounced in patients with hyperglycemia. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are now considered as second-line treatment for patients with T2DM following inadequate glycemic control with first line agents.

For a long time, conventional lifestyle interventions have tried unsuccessfully to find a solution. It has been proven that only interventions that ultimately address the central control centers of hunger, appetite and satiety will lead to sustained weight loss.
