Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes is a chronic disorder and one of the most frequent causes of death all over the world. Long-term diabetes-related complications may involve organs, such as eyes, kidneys, heart, and the central nervous system. Diabetes is not a single disease but a group of different disorders which share chronic hyperglycemia. Diabetes may range from insulin deficiency, due to autoimmune background, to insulin resistance, due to acquired metabolic impairment. An increasing field of research is the genetic background of this disorder. The increasing availability in genetic mechanisms prompted the researchers to describe monogenic form of diabetes, such as neonatal diabetes and MODY.
Much clinical investigation is still necessary to unravel the mechanisms causing diabetes onset and diabetes-related complications. On the other hand, acute complications, such as severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis, may be life-threating events, which require prompt management by the patient and caregivers.
Please note that clinical studies not sufficiently addressing the aim of the journal will not be considered.
Dr. Maurizio Delvecchio
Guest Editor
