Abstract
Different dysglycemic states precede overt type 2 diabetes. Prediabetic dysglycemia also carries an increased cardiovascular risk per se. Prediabetic dysglycemia may be divided into impaired fasting glycemia, impaired glucose tolerance and intermediate hyperglycemia. Mixed forms of these are very common. Dysglycemia develops insidiously for many years and usually produces no symptoms until very late. It is possible to prevent prediabetic dysglycemia from progressing to manifest type 2 diabetes and it can also be made to return to normoglycemia. The importance of lifestyle interventions, pharmacological treatment, surgical treatment and community efforts are discussed.
Keywords: Prediabetic dysglycemia, insulin, impaired glucose tolerance, normoglycemia, dysmetabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
