The Diabetes Diet: Making a Healthy Eating Plan

Dear Colleagues,

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, making it one of the fastest-growing international health emergencies of the 21st century. Diabetes that is not well managed can have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality, serving as a risk factor for stroke, renal dysfunction, leg amputation, cardiovascular diseases, loss of vision, and neuropathy. Strategies for managing diabetes often include regular physical activity, smoking cessation, maintaining a healthy body weight, and a healthy diet. Diet is vital to diabetes management, as it helps control blood sugar levels, reduce complications, and enhance overall health. Given the importance of nutrition in preventing and managing diabetes and its consequences, we require a deeper and more accurate understanding of how to create the best dietary plans and the mechanisms that make healthy diets effective.

The aim of this Special Issue on "The Diabetes Diet: Making a Healthy Eating Plan" is to highlight novel findings that help define optimal eating plans, considering macro/micronutrients and fibre, as well as gender differences, to manage diabetes and its clinical complications.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions to this topic, and recommended reviews, original articles, brief reports, and communications are encouraged.
