Health Promotion and Quality of Life in People with Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscript on diabetes and health promotion to this Special Issue. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic illnesses worldwide, and it constitutes a higher risk for mental and physical health. Diabetes self-management education and support is a fundamental element of care for people with diabetes. Recent evidence suggests some failures in the knowledge and skills of people with diabetes in the treatment administration as well as self-care and monitoring therapeutic regimen and healthy lifestyle habits.  

This Special Issue aims to publish clinical results on healthy lifestyle habits, the prevention of complications and diseases derived from a chronic disease such as diabetes, the evaluation of health promotion in terms of quality of life, and the formulation of strategies to improve physical and mental health in people with diabetes.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Early diagnosis and disease prevention of diabetes.
• Diabetes morbidity and mortality.
• Socio-economic burden of chronic care.
• Health assessment.
• Medication management.
• Mental health.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.
