Overview

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistently high blood glucose resulting from inadequate insulin production, impaired insulin action, or both. Its principal forms are type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, and untreated or poorly controlled disease can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, and nerves, making it a major and growing public-health concern worldwide. From a nutritional perspective, diet is central to both the prevention and management of diabetes, since food choices, energy balance, and specific nutrients strongly influence blood-glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and related cardiometabolic risk. Dietary patterns, micronutrient status, and targeted interventions are therefore key areas of investigation. Research in the International Journal of Nutrition and across related OpenAccessPub titles reflects this focus, including clinical use of bitter melon for lowering blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, vitamin D status and deficiency in people with diabetes, risk factors and outcomes in gestational diabetes, dietary diversity among patients with diabetes and hypertension, bioinformatic study of metabolomics in type 2 diabetes, the association of genetic polymorphisms with diabetes susceptibility, and the prevalence of chronic-disease risk factors in relation to dietary patterns such as vegetarianism.
