Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The significant increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes during the last decades, especially in the younger age groups, necessitates an ever-greater involvement of the medical community in the treatment of the disease and the prevention of its complications. Nutrition is an important factor in the management of diabetes. During the past decade, rapid expansion in the amount of population-based epidemiological evidence has helped to clarify the significant role of diet in the prevention, treatment, and control of morbidity, as well as premature mortality as a result of chronic childhood diseases. In addition to diet, lifestyle has a significant impact on glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The outstanding achievements of technology such as continuous glucose monitoring systems, continuous insulin infusion systems and hybrid closed-loop systems have radically changed the way diabetes is treated today. Nevertheless, the role of diet and lifestyle in the glycemic control of patients with type 1 diabetes remains crucial.

This Special Issue will include manuscripts which focus on nutrition, diet and/or lifestyle interventions regarding the prevention and management of type 1 diabetes mellitus as well as the prevention of its complications. Authors are experts in the field and the provided materials are the result of their experience or internationally acquired scientific knowledge. The content will be useful for endocrinologists, pediatric endocrinologists, diabetologists, pediatric diabetologists, pediatricians, dieticians, nutritionists, ergophysiologists, trainers and will inspire further innovative research.

(1) Background: Emerging adulthood, from the age of 18 to 29 years, is a crucial phase for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, as it affects their Health-Related Quality of Life. (2) Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzes the influence of the Mediterranean diet, Diabetes duration, Hemoglobin A1c, and sleep disorders on Health-Relate Quality of Life in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. In this study, conducted in Andalusia, Spain, 362 emerging adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus completed the Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire, the Adaptation of Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener, and the Vida con Diabetes Tipo 1 (ViDa1) Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire between October 2021 and July 2022. Pearson correlation coefficients and a multiple regression analysis were conducted for each Health-Related Quality of Life in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus dimension (Interference with Life, Well-being, Self-care, and Concern about the Condition) for overall sample and separately for males and females. (3) Results: Different and significant correlations are found among factors such as Age, Body Mass Index, Currently being a student, Hemoglobin A1c, Sleep satisfaction, Insomnia, Hypersomnolence, and Adherence to Mediterranean diet. Notably, Insomnia is a main predictor for Interference with Life, Well-being, and Concern about the Condition, especially for females. (4) Conclusions: Insomnia is the main predictor of Health-Related Quality of Life in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus among Andalusian emerging adults with this condition. Consequently, a regular assessment of sleep and Health-Related Quality of Life from a gender perspective in this age group is crucial. Full article

Achieving optimal glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) continues to pose a significant challenge. While continuous insulin infusion systems have shown promise as an alternative to conventional insulin therapy, there remains a crucial need for greater awareness regarding the necessary adaptations for various special circumstances. Nutritional choices play an essential role in the efficacy of diabetes management and overall health status for patients with T1DM. Factors such as effective carbohydrate counting, assessment of the macronutrient composition of meals, and comprehending the concept of the glycemic index of foods are paramount in making informed pre-meal adjustments when utilizing insulin pumps. Furthermore, the ability to handle such situations as physical exercise, illness, pregnancy, and lactation by making appropriate adjustments in nutrition and pump settings should be cultivated within the patient–practitioner relationship. This review aims to provide healthcare practitioners with practical guidance on optimizing care for individuals living with T1DM. It includes recommendations on carbohydrate counting, managing mixed meals and the glycemic index, addressing exercise-related challenges, co** with illness, and managing nutritional needs during pregnancy and lactation. Additionally, considerations relating to closed-loop systems with regard to nutrition are addressed. By implementing these strategies, healthcare providers can better equip themselves to support individuals with T1DM in achieving improved diabetes management and enhanced quality of life.
