Overview

Diabetes mellitus is a group of chronic metabolic disorders defined by persistent hyperglycaemia arising from defective insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or both. Type 1 diabetes results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and absolute insulin deficiency, while type 2 diabetes, the most prevalent form, is driven by insulin resistance and progressive beta-cell dysfunction in the context of obesity, physical inactivity and genetic predisposition; gestational diabetes arises during pregnancy and carries risks for mother and infant. Sustained hyperglycaemia damages micro- and macrovascular beds, producing complications including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and accelerated atherosclerosis, and diabetes is closely linked to coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnoea and depression. Diagnosis rests on glycaemic measures such as fasting glucose and HbA1c, and management spans lifestyle modification, nutrition, pharmacotherapy and structured screening. Research grounded here examines trends in paediatric and adolescent diabetes, vitamin D status, the impact of nutrients and dietary interventions, gestational diabetes risk factors, comorbidities including sleep apnoea and coronary calcification, machine-learning approaches to risk prediction, and herbal adjuncts such as bitter melon for glycaemic control. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies on the epidemiology, complications, nutritional and pharmacological management, and preventive strategies for diabetes across populations and life stages.
