Nutritional Management of Type 2 Diabetes and Its Liver-Associated Complications

Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to invite researchers to submit original or review papers to this Special Issue, entitled “Nutritional Management of Type 2 Diabetes and Its Liver-Associated Complications”.

This Special Issue aims to explore how nutritional strategies can prevent, manage, or reverse metabolic dysregulations in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), at every stage of its progression—from simple steatosis to advanced liver fibrosis.

This Special Issue welcomes original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses addressing the role of macronutrients, micronutrients, supplements, and meal timing on glycemic control, insulin resistance, hepatic fat accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis progression.

We also encourage submissions on the gut–liver–metabolic axis, focusing on the interplay between gut microbiota, insulin resistance, hepatokines, and the development of liver disease.

Topics of interest also include the impact of specific dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean, low-carb, and vegetarian diets) on liver disease in patients with T2DM. Our goal is to provide clinicians and researchers with up-to-date evidence to support personalized and effective nutritional approaches for improving the prognosis of patients with type 2 diabetes and liver-associated diseases at any stage.
