The primary purpose of Journal of Diabetes and its Complications is to act as a
source of information, usable by those caring
for patients with diabetes
mellitus who are thereby at risk for development of those complications which
all too often appear
with time. While our primary aim is to assist the
practitioner in his/her care of such patients, and to afford access to
information that may allow the prevention of such complications, it is the
Editors' wish to function as a forum for
that information which, while still
experimental, may shed light upon current thinking of those active in the
fields appropriate
to the aims of Journal of Diabetes and its Complications.
In addition to general articles on clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, Journal of Diabetes and its
Complications also presents articles on basic
research in all areas of diabetes and its related syndromes. Topics covered
relevant to the diabetic patient will include diagnosis, pathogenesis, and
clinical management of: diabetic retinopathy,
neuropathy and nephropathy;
peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal
disorders, renal
failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Journal of Diabetes and its Complications will also publish
papers on the
general pathogenesis and prevention of diabetes.
