The Role of Dietary Patterns, Living Qualities in Glycemic Management in Patients with Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

The associations between dietary patterns and diabetes have been evidenced considerably in the literature. However, other factors may also contribute to the pathways between dietary patterns and diabetes outcomes, including environmental factors, quality of life (health status) or diabetes-specific quality of life, psychosocial factors, as well as other self-care behaviors. The evidence is even little in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where have the higher proportion of diabetes burden (e.g., China and India). Therefore, we are inviting you to submit an article/review/clinal trial on the topic of dietary patterns and diabetes outcomes, considering the other factors that would contribute to the pathways. Studies conducted in LMICs are very welcome.
