Overview

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine and metabolic disorder in which the body cannot produce sufficient insulin or cannot use it effectively, leading to persistently elevated blood glucose levels. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that enables cells to take up glucose for energy, and disruption of this hormonal regulation underlies the disease. As an endocrine condition, diabetes reflects a breakdown in the hormonal control of metabolism and is closely linked to other endocrine and metabolic factors, including vitamin D status, obesity, and blood pressure regulation. The major types are type 1 diabetes, caused by autoimmune loss of insulin-producing cells; type 2 diabetes, driven by insulin resistance and progressive insulin deficiency; and gestational diabetes, occurring in pregnancy. Long-term complications arise from damage to blood vessels and nerves and include cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and lower-limb amputation. Management combines lifestyle measures such as healthy eating and physical activity with medication where needed. Research published in this journal addresses the hormonal and metabolic dimensions of diabetes, including gestational diabetes risk factors and outcomes, the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and diabetes, genetic and obesity-related susceptibility, associated conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and coronary artery calcification, and dietary approaches to glucose control, underscoring diabetes as a disorder of hormonal and metabolic balance.
