Overview

Diabetes mellitus is a group of chronic metabolic disorders defined by persistent hyperglycaemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type 1 diabetes arises from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and requires insulin replacement, whereas type 2 diabetes, the most prevalent form, develops from insulin resistance compounded by progressive beta-cell dysfunction and is strongly linked to obesity, physical inactivity, and diet. Gestational diabetes and other specific types also occur. Sustained hyperglycaemia drives microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy) and macrovascular disease, making glycaemic control, supported by lifestyle modification, oral agents, and insulin, central to management. Research in this area examines the therapeutic promise of CRISPR-based gene therapy in type 2 diabetes, the high prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency and its status in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the impact of nutrients and specific foods such as bitter melon on blood glucose. Further studies address trends in childhood and adolescent diabetes, machine-learning prediction of diabetes risk, high-protein supplementation in obese adolescents with and without type 2 diabetes, coronary artery calcification, the kynurenine-vitamin B6 link between diabetes and depression, and family-based medication management in elder populations. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical, nutritional, and metabolic research on diabetes.
