Following 19 days of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine nursing care, the patient's fasting blood glucose was maintained at 7.6-11.2 mmol/L, the peak postprandial blood glucose decreased by 5.9 mmol/L compared with that at admission, and no hypoglycemic episodes occurred; the air-conduction average hearing threshold of the left ear at 0.25-4 kHz was improved by 5 dB; the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score decreased from 63 to 42, sleep efficiency increased from 65% to 85%, treatment compliance reached 100%, and the patient satisfaction score was 98.
