Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex and multifactorial disease strongly influenced by dietary habits, lifestyle factors and obesity. Nutritional intervention represents a cornerstone of diabetes management, with well-established effects on glycemic control, body weight and overall metabolic health.
Beyond glucose regulation, increasing evidence suggests that nutrition plays a key role in modulating the risk and progression of diabetes-related complications, as well as cardiometabolic outcomes. Different dietary patterns, calorie restriction strategies and lifestyle interventions have been associated with improvements in insulin resistance, inflammation and metabolic profile.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research and reviews focusing on nutritional and lifestyle interventions in T2DM. Topics of interest include dietary approaches, weight management and the role of nutrition in influencing metabolic health, disease progression and complications. Contributions from clinical, epidemiological and translational perspectives are particularly welcome.
