Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent scientific evidence highlights the efficacy of the Mediterranean diet in managing diabetes mellitus. Numerous studies demonstrate its positive impact on glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular health among individuals with diabetes. Rich in olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, the diet's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties contribute to improved metabolic outcomes. Key findings underscore reduced HbA1c levels, a lowered risk of cardiovascular events, and enhanced lipid profiles. These results align with recommendations promoting the Mediterranean diet as a therapeutic approach for diabetes management. Incorporating these dietary patterns may offer a holistic strategy to mitigate diabetes-related complications and promote overall well-being.
