Reviewer 2 Report
This is an interesting review regarding the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles for the treatment of diabetes and diabetic complications.
I would suggest to complete by referring to eventual trials ongoing on the use of EVs for the treatment of diabetes nad its complications.
I would summarize the Introduction on EVs (paragraphs 2 .1, 2.2 and 2.3) by referring to published reviews to avoid overlapping i.e Eleuteri S I J Mol Sci 2019 20(18): 4597: Fierabracci A Cell Transplat 2015 24: 133-49 and Others.
I suggest also to refer to specific effects of the EVs secretome.
