Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes mellitus remains a leading global health challenge, with rising prevalence among adults and children. Due to acute and chronic complications, it has profound implications for morbidity, mortality, and healthcare systems. Beyond glycemic control, diabetes is closely linked with cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, neuropathy, retinopathy, infections, and impaired wound healing. The complexity of these complications underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach to care, involving endocrinology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, and primary care. Diabetes can also affect cognitive functions and psychological well-being, thus requiring additional targeted support.
This Special Issue, titled “Diabetes Mellitus and Emerging Health Challenges: A Multidisciplinary Perspective”, aims to highlight advances in clinical management, prevention strategies, and integrated care models. Topics of interest include novel therapeutic approaches, biomarker-driven diagnostics, lifestyle interventions, comorbidity management, and health system responses to the diabetes epidemic.
We welcome original research, clinical studies, and reviews that contribute to improving outcomes and fostering holistic, patient-centered diabetes care.
