Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One hundred years after the discovery of insulin, and despite major advances in insulin delivery, only a small minority of children and adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) achieve optimal levels of glycemic control. Furthermore, their lengthened survival has revealed the problem of long-term microvascular complications such as blindness and renal failure that occur despite insulin therapy. Moreover, most individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who experience different degrees of insulin resistance, and those possessing mixed forms of diabetes (i.e., autoimmune, genetic, and/or obesity-associated), experience other chronic comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, liver failure, and cancer, which result in many years of life lost due to ill health, disability, and/or premature death.
In women, diabetes is frequently diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy, representing either a transitory condition (gestational diabetes) or an uncommon presentation of preexisting T1D or T2D. Although gestational diabetes generally disappears soon after giving birth, it confers a higher probability of developing frank T2D during the rest of a woman’s life. Thus, detection of pregnancy-related hyperglycemia represents a significant opportunity for targeted lifestyle-based and/or pharmacological interventions in the female population.
This Special Issue aims to host innovative papers, both in the form of original research and review articles, that will advance our understanding of diabetes and its comorbidities, complications, and modes of treatment and prevention.
