Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The clinical management of diabetes and its complications represents a central challenge in contemporary medicine, requiring continuous adaptation to emerging therapies, comorbidities, and patient needs. This Special Issue, “Clinical Management of Diabetes and Complications”, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current clinical strategies and emerging therapeutic options in the management of diabetes and its associated complications.
This Special Issue will address advances in pharmacological treatment—including novel antidiabetic agents with proven cardiorenal–metabolic benefits—as well as lifestyle and digital interventions for glycaemic and complication control. Particular focus will be given to the early recognition and individualized management of diabetic complications such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, and diabetic foot syndrome.
We will also explore comorbid conditions closely linked to the pathophysiology of diabetes, such as obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which play growing roles in cardiovascular as well as metabolic risk assessment and therapeutic decision making. In addition, contributions on diabetes remission—through nutritional interventions, bariatric surgery, or pharmacotherapy—are encouraged, reflecting a paradigm shift in the long-term management of type 2 diabetes.
We welcome papers exploring innovative care models, structured education programs, and integrated multidisciplinary approaches, with the aim to improve the outcomes and quality of life of people living with diabetes. Additionally, the use of artificial intelligence, continuous glucose monitoring systems, insulin delivery devices, remote monitoring, and precision medicine in diabetes care will be considered as priorities.
Original research articles, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and expert perspectives contributing to the optimization of care in diabetes and its complications are invited. This Special Issue welcomes submissions from both clinical and translational researchers for evidence-based, patient-centred approaches.
