Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for reading this Special Issue information. It is a true honor to welcome the submission of manuscripts.
Diabetes is a complex disorder characterized by uncontrolled blood glucose levels, ultimately leading to serious complications including diabetic cardiomyopathies, nephropathies, neuropathies, and more. In this context, preventing these complications is crucial, and interventions for diabetic patients are essential. To achieve these aims, it is essential to build an understanding of the clinical evolution of diabetic patients through personalized, multidisciplinary approaches as well as developing cohesive care-management strategies. This Special Issue delves into the rationale behind monitoring diabetes and managing its complications. It addresses the challenges in type 1 and type 2 diabetes care, including insulin dependence, glycemic variability, psychosocial burden, technology dependence, and educating and supporting diabetic patients and their families in type 1 diabetes, and explores the topics of delayed diagnosis, medication adherence, lifestyle interventions, health system limitations, and comorbidities in type 2 diabetes. The submission of clinical interventional and observational studies on access to affordable care, patient education, digital health integration, healthcare disparities, clinical evolution, and complications prevention are welcome, as well as critical, narrative, systematic, and simple reviews and meta-analyses. We are also open to publishing preclinical studies, if feasible.
We look forward to receiving your feedback on the proposed topic as well as your brilliant submissions. To have you contribute to this Special Issue would be hugely meaningful and, we feel, guarantee the production of a successful project.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Lucas Fornari Laurindo
Dr. Sandra Barbalho
