Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Type 2 diabetes remains one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the world, affecting 8–10% of the global population; its prevalence has been increasing at a staggering rate. The healthiness of the diets of individuals plays an important role in determining their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. While recent advancements in research have improved our understanding of the dietary risks factors for type 2 diabetes, the evidence on some of these emerging dietary risk factors is still limited.
This Special Issue of Diabetology aims to publish the latest findings on the dietary risk factors of type 2 diabetes and their determinants, which will provide further insights into this widespread disease. We particularly encourage submissions of articles underscoring results from large cohort studies and clinical trials utilizing advanced statistical and study designs (e.g., Mendelian randomization). We will also accept narrative and systematic reviews, as well as meta-analyses of recent studies. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Carbohydrate quality and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Added/free sugar and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- High-protein diets and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- High-fat diets and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Ultra-processed foods and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Plant-based diets and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Nuts intake and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Dietary patterns and risks of type 2 diabetes;
- Dietary intervention for type 2 diabetes prevention;
- Socio-economic determinants of dietary risk factors of type 2 diabetes;
- Public health approaches to improve the dietary risk factors of type 2 diabetes;
- Digital interventions to improve the dietary risk factors of type 2 diabetes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
