Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder defined by sustained hyperglycemia arising from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Its principal forms—type 1, driven by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, and type 2, characterized by insulin resistance and progressive secretory failure—share long-term complications affecting the cardiovascular system, kidneys, eyes, and nerves, alongside gestational diabetes arising in pregnancy. Pathogenesis integrates genetic susceptibility, obesity, and lifestyle factors, and management combines dietary and behavioural modification, glucose monitoring, and pharmacotherapy. The peer-reviewed research collected here addresses diabetes across these dimensions, including an ACE insertion/deletion gene-polymorphism association study in type 2 diabetes, the impact of nutrients on diabetes and dietary interventions such as bitter melon and Solanum aethiopicum, vitamin D status in diabetes, and trends of diabetes in children and adolescents. Further contributions examine the intersection of intimate-partner violence, stress, and diabetes among South Asian women, a machine-learning approach to diabetes prediction, the kynurenine and vitamin B6 link between diabetes and depression, coronary-artery calcification, and risk factors for gestational diabetes. Recurring themes include nutritional and dietary management, genetic and metabolic risk, psychosocial dimensions, predictive modeling, and micronutrient status. Together these contributions frame diabetes as a multifactorial metabolic disease whose prevention and control depend on integrated dietary, behavioural, pharmacological, and increasingly data-driven strategies across the lifespan and diverse populations.
