Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease in which the body cannot properly regulate blood glucose because of insufficient insulin production, impaired insulin action, or both. Its main forms are type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune loss of insulin-producing cells, and type 2 diabetes, marked by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency, along with gestational diabetes occurring in pregnancy. Common features include increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue, and poorly controlled disease can lead to cardiovascular, renal, ophthalmic, and neurological complications. In the context of Obesity Management, diabetes is closely linked to excess body weight, since obesity is a leading driver of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, making weight control central to prevention and treatment. Management spans lifestyle modification, dietary change, physical activity, pharmacotherapy, and the correction of related metabolic risk factors. Research in this journal and across related OpenAccessPub titles reflects these connections, including vitamin D deficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes, gene-therapy approaches such as CRISPR for type 2 diabetes, dietary interventions like bitter melon for blood-glucose control, gestational diabetes risk factors and pregnancy outcomes, the association of genetic polymorphisms with obesity and diabetes susceptibility, and the assessment of comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnea in people with type 2 diabetes.
