| Summary: | Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction as the pathology progresses to more advanced stages. This condition is highly heterogeneous in terms of clinical characteristics, nutritional and pharmacological management, and risk of complications. Additionally, T2DM is associated with numerous comorbilities, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetic dyslipidemia, hypertension, and metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). T2DM is closely linked to the immune system both causally and consequently, with abnormal activation of immune cells and a chronic inflammatory environment playing a crucial role in its progression. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges, causing significant lifestyle changes and affecting the metabolic control of patients with T2DM... |
