About

Although diabetes care is improving, there are still cases that are poorly managed. Diabetes mellitus prevention necessitates an integrated and holistic strategy based on the cause of the condition. Only half of diabetes mellitus patients in Europe have adequate glycemic control. Inadequate glycemic management impacts the usage of healthcare resources, medical expenses, and death rates dramatically. Notably, the diabetes is a main cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and conversely of hospitalizations and deaths in the developed countries.

Thus, from one side the prevention of diabetes mellitus (lifestyle modification) and its complications (best glycemic control and anti-diabetic medications), and from the other side the early treatment of CVDs linked to diabetes (drug and interventional treatments), represent both the right management to avoid worse prognosis.

The current Research Topic encourages original research, reviews, or other accepted article
types relating, but not limited, to:
- Influence of Vitamin D on blood glucose levels;
- Relationship between lifestyle factors, incidence, and long-term outcomes of diabetes mellitus;
- Gene-environment interaction and diabetes;
- Strategies for improving glycemic control;
- Multi-omics advances in lifestyle risk factors and medicine therapy on diabetes;
-effects of tight glycemic control on diabetes disease and CVDs;
-amelioration of CVDs’ outcomes induced by best glycemic control.
