Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes is a complex and progressive disease, accompanied by numerous complications that manifest over time. The most common impact is on the eyes, nerves, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and liver. Conventional diabetes medications have been able to prevent and delay the progression of diabetic microvascular complications by managing blood glucose levels but prove limited in addressing complications stemming from macrovascular damage.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest research and clinical evidence concerning complications such as cardiovascular diseases; including myocardial infarction and heart failure; renal complications, like diabetic nephropathy; and complications associated with chronic diabetes-related liver metabolic diseases, such as MASLD. Additionally, it delves deeply into the intricate relationship between the risks of these complications and factors such as obesity and aging.
Additionally, emerging treatment approaches for these complications, particularly novel diabetes medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, exhibit promising effectiveness. Recent discoveries, grounded in robust evidence, signify a transformative shift in diabetes management, fostering the exploration of more holistic and efficacious strategies.
In conclusion, this Special Issue serves as a pivotal resource, providing current insights into the dynamic interplay of diabetes, its complications, and related factors. It advances our understanding of its disease mechanisms and provides clinicians with the relevant information for informed decision making in diabetes management.
