This concept led to the identification of a new phenotype: non-albuminuric DKD, whose pathogenesis is still unknown and data in literature are still controversial. This review is focused on cardiovascular risk profile and therapeutical implication of this new DKD phenotype.","PeriodicalId":119243,"journal":{"name":"Il Diabete","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific examples of fields of action of Counselors will be presented, with a specific focus on the interaction between Counselor and patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Although the reduction of pancreatic β-cell functional mass, associated or not with peripheral insulin resistance, is recognized as the main etiopathogenetic factor leading to the onset of T2D, the dysregulation of glucose metabolism is actually the result of multi-organs alterations, including skeletal muscle and adipose tissue dysfunction, hepatic insulin resistance, and incretin axis defects. Furthermore, the chronic elevation of blood glucose levels leads to the onset of systemic complications affecting many organs and tissues. Therefore, T2D is a multi-organ disease and future anti-diabetic drugs can no longer be considered simple hypoglycemic drugs: they should at least be able to restore β-cell functional mass, reduce peripheral insulin resistance, ensure adequate weight loss (when necessary), and exert cardio- and nephro-protective effects. In light of this, irisin, a hormone secreted by skeletal muscle in response to physical activity, should be remarked as a new promising anti-diabetes molecule, being able to exert beneficial effects on the various organs involved in the pathogenesis of T2D, in particular on pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and many of the organs affected by diabetes complications.","PeriodicalId":119243,"journal":{"name":"Il Diabete","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126114572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods and results: the present paper re¬vised the recently published Italian guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (outpatients) and its update, either in primary care or specialist referral. The guideline has been developed following the methods described in the Manual of the National Guideline System (http://www.snlg-iss.it) by a panel nominated by the Società Italiana di Diabetologia (SID) and Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD). Available literature on nutritional therapy showed a greater efficacy of: 1) MNT vs. unstructured nutritional advices, 2) Mediterranean diet vs. other dietary approaches, and the use of low- vs. high-glycemic index nutrients in reducing HbA1c and body weight. \u0000Conclusions: the present paper illustrates the recommendations of the Italian guidelines (and its 2023-update) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes on medical nutritional therapy. In synthesis, the panel suggests a structured medical therapy, balanced diet (Mediterranean), and the use of low-, rather than high-glycemic index nutrients due to the improvement of glycemic control and body weight.","PeriodicalId":119243,"journal":{"name":"Il Diabete","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131478714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
