Special Issue on Diabetes and Its Complications

Diabetes and Its Complications refer to a group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The most common forms include Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, each posing serious health risks if not properly managed. Persistent high blood sugar levels can lead to a range of complications affecting multiple organs and systems, including diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetic foot problems. These complications can significantly reduce quality of life and increase the risk of disability and premature death. Effective management through lifestyle changes, medication, regular monitoring, and patient education is essential to prevent or delay the onset of these complications and improve long-term outcomes for individuals living with diabetes.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Diabetes and Its Complications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
