Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which results in a major global burden for patients and health care systems, affecting approximately 9 to 26 million people worldwide each year. People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Long diabetes duration and consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Due to its multi-organ damage, diabetes is the main cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, renal failure, and lower limb amputation in all high-income countries. Many studies around the world suggest that the implementation of prevention and management principles is associated with a decrease in the frequency of diabetes-related complications. New targeted therapies, such as new hypoglycemic drugs, appear to have a promising role in preventing diabetes complications, mainly cardiovascular disease. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach including different specialties is required in the management of patients with diabetic complications to improve benefits and outcomes, and to reduce morbidity and mortality. For this Special Issue, we encourage submissions discussing the current state-of-the-art, the management of risk factors, new therapies, and unmet needs regarding diabetes-related complications.
