Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes remains a significant global health challenge, with nutrition playing a pivotal role in both its prevention and management. This Special Issue delves into the latest advancements in dietary interventions, nutritional strategies, and emerging therapies designed to improve glycaemic control, mitigate complications, and enhance overall health outcomes for individuals with diabetes. Key areas of focus include the influence of macronutrients and micronutrients on diabetes management, personalised nutrition approaches, low-GI diets, gut microbiome interactions, and the impact of dietary patterns on insulin sensitivity. Additionally, this issue will explore innovative public health strategies, community-based interventions, and policy recommendations aimed at strengthening diabetes prevention efforts at the population level. By integrating cutting-edge research and evidence-based practises, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between nutrition and diabetes risk, progression, and treatment. It aims to inform more effective clinical and public health strategies, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to diabetes care. We invite researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to contribute their expertise and insights to shape the future of nutrition-driven diabetes prevention and management.
