Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes—particularly type 2 (DM2)—is prevalent worldwide, with an increasing incidence. Gestational diabetes (GDM) is also quite common. Although the pharmaceutical armamentarium for DM2 has expanded, no fundamentally new categories of drugs for it have appeared in the last decade. Monitoring of glycemia has been augmented with newer apparatuses, which are usually reimbursed—though for patients with diabetes type 1 (DM1). Despite the use of current means to deal with diabetes, a substantial percentage of patients remain with a disease which is not well-controlled and suffer from its complications. In this Special Issue, authors are invited to submit original research works as well as review articles dealing with such aspects.
