Glucose Metabolism in Obese and Diabetic Patients

Dear Colleagues,

Addressing the rise of diabetes and obesity/overweight is an urgent global challenge. Over 70% of deaths worldwide are caused by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and diabetes and obesity/overweight are major risk factors for NCDs. Reducing diabetes and obesity/overweight is an important strategy to prevent and control NCDs globally. Dealing with this issue at the level of individuals and societies requires a multifaceted and multilayered cooperative system in all fields, including medicine, nutrition, exercise physiology, agriculture, economics, education, and government policy. This Special Issue examines tools for preventing and managing diabetes and obesity/overweight from an interdisciplinary perspective. To achieve this goal, elucidation of glucose metabolism in obese and diabetic patients is essential. We look forward to reports on medicines, supplements, screening system, eating habits, exercise, education, lifestyle interventions, wearable devices, applications, and strategies that are effective in preventing and managing diabetes and obesity/overweight.

The purpose of this Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Glucose Metabolism in Obese and Diabetic Patients”, is to further contribute to the current nutritional evidence. Experimental research, systematic and meta-analyses, and narrative reviews are welcome.

Dr. Takao Kimura
Guest Editor
