Nutrition and Diabetes

A section of Nutrients (ISSN 2072-6643).

Section Information

Over the last few decades, diabetes incidence has grown from around 3.5% of the adult population in Europe to around 10%. The underlying fat storage (adiposity) has become the most prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide. Taken both together with hyperlipidemia and hypertension, they are the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cancer, and numerous other complications. In the last few years, our knowledge of diabetes and adiposity, often called “diabesity”, has greatly improved, but more research is needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying the development of this metabolic condition and its diagnosis and pathophysiology, as well as to optimize its management.

We welcome original research articles describing basic, clinical, and applied studies representing novel and significant advances in all areas relevant to Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and related disorders, as well as reviews. The areas of research covered by this Section relate to all aspects of diabetes diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment.

  • Type 2 diabetes and diabesity;
  • Diabetes phenotyping;
  • Body composition;
  • Energy expenditure;
  • Adipose tissue pathophysiology;
  • Adipokines;
  • Omic studies;
