Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases: From Prevention to Clinical Management

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled "Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases: From Prevention to Clinical Management", aims to thoroughly explore the complex landscape of diabetes and metabolic disorders. It sheds light on key aspects, ranging from preventive measures to therapeutic solutions. Given the intertwined nature of obesity and diabetes, both of which are escalating to pandemic levels, there is an urgent call for comprehensive approaches that cover prevention, early detection, and targeted treatments.

Prevention strategies take the forefront, recognizing the pivotal role of lifestyle changes like dietary adjustments and increased physical activity in halting the progression of these disorders. Early detection plays a crucial role in intervening promptly in order to slow down disease advancement and prevent complications. The issue delves into screening methods and diagnostic tools which can enable the early identification of individuals at risk.

Therapeutic options are varied and tailored to suit each patient's unique needs, considering the diverse nature of diabetes and metabolic diseases. From dietary manipulations like nutritional ketosis to medications targeting feeding behavior and the incretin system, the importance of personalized treatment approaches is underscored.

Furthermore, the issue emphasizes the significance of holistic management strategies. This includes integrating pharmacotherapy with lifestyle adjustments, patient education, and psychosocial support in order to optimize outcomes and improve the quality of life for those dealing with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
