The clinical efficacy of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy combined with six classes of oral glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) (TZDs/metformin/acarbose/GLP-1 receptor agonist/SGLT-2 inhibitor/DPP-4 inhibitor) was evaluated by a network meta-analysis to provide an evidence-based reference in making a clinical decision on CSII combined with drugs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This evidence concerns the gene DPP4 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
