Diabetic Complications: Pathophysiology, Mechanisms, and Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

There is no cure for diabetes at the present, but it can be managed with the correct treatment and recommended lifestyle changes. By doing so, many people with diabetes are able to prevent or delay the onset of complications. Balancing the food you eat with exercise and medicine (if prescribed) will help you control your weight and can keep your blood glucose the main sugar found in the blood and the body’s main source of energy. This can help prevent or delay complication of the harmful effects of diabetes, such as damage to the eyes, heart, blood vessels, nervous system, teeth and gums, feet and skin, or kidneys. Studies show that keeping blood glucose, blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels close to normal can help prevent or delay these problems. In this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Section: Molecular Pathology, we are inviting authors to submit original research papers, as well as review articles, to discuss the current understanding of cellular and molecular pathology, function, signal pathways and preventive and/or therapeutic insights in diabetic complications.
