Management of Patients with Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetes is the most important chronic disease in the world and it threatens the health of about 422 million people worldwide. Diabetes occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.

Nowadays, it is widely recognized that diabetes can damage blood vessels in the heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Also, studies have proven that diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications.

This Special Issue aims to collect studies to better understand the disease process of diabetes and its complications; and the recent advancements in interventions that can improve patient outcomes. Original research articles and review papers are welcome.

Dr. Paola Simeone
Guest Editor
