A comprehensive examination of recent studies and clinical data was conducted to assess effects of hyperglycemia on immune cell function. Evidence indicates that hyperglycemia can significantly alter immune cell function, with different diabetic conditions showing varied responses. Roles of key metabolic hormones in regulating T cell function highlight potential therapeutic targets for restoring immune balance. In addition, reprogramming of innate immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells under hyperglycemic conditions suggests a complex metabolic-immunological interface.
