Precision Nutrition and Diabetes Mellitus

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetes and its associated risk factors are a major public health concern. The emerging field of precision nutrition aims at developing nutrition recommendations based on an individual’s genomics profiles, including their genetic background, gut microbiome, metabolomics, and other omics, as well as their medical history and various environmental exposures such as diet, physical activity, or other lifestyle habits. Thus, precision nutrition may offer a novel approach to tailor the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its associated risk factors; however, more research is needed.

In this Special Issue, we are inviting authors to contribute original research and reviews that examine gene–nutrients interactions, microbiome, metabolome and metabolic responses to specific foods or dietary patterns to determine the most effective eating plan to prevent or treat diabetes risk factors. The Special Issue also welcomes research that seeks to examine if precision nutrition interventions are more effective than traditional diabetes nutrition education therapies.
