Insulin 100th Anniversary: Century of Innovation for Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

The world is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the insulin invention. I am humbled by the invitation to be the guest editor of this Special Issue “100th Anniversary of Insulin: Century of Innovation for Diabetes”. Recently the prevention of diabetes mellitus, as well as the strive for its cure, dominate research together with unraveling new diseases from the monogenic diabetes family and managing diabetes patients. Chronic diabetes complications decrease and recede; the chances for a longer and healthier life increase. While various achievements improve clinical care and outcomes, further issues arise. New technologies and innovative therapies have entered the lives of patients with diabetes demanding more detailed advice for its daily management. Food choices and nutrition are among the most sensitive and essential parts of care and at the same time subject to great variation and not fully elucidated. Fortunately, I have been able to confirm contributions from faculty members from many nations and multiple disciplines, including the “patient perspective”, rendering the issue a “global” event. Authors have penned articles on various topics, we warmly welcome our authors to contribute more topics same or not same to the following:

• Dietary modifications

• Nutritional therapeutic options
• Diabetes treatment
• Advances in diabetes technology
• Inpatient hyperglycemia
• Insulin secretion and action
• Diabetes complications
• Hypoglycemia
• Metabolic Syndrome

Prof. Dr. George Dimitriadis
Guest Editor
