Diabetes mellitus has become a global problem worldwide. It is estimated that there are 387 million people with diabetes worldwide, 67 million of them in India. Type 2 diabetes mellitus constitutes 95% of all types of diabetes seen in most parts of the world, while other types like type 1 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes, and secondary form of diabetes are less common. The acute and chronic complications of diabetes account for most of the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. In this issue of the ‘World Clinics of Diabetology’, some of the recent advances in our understanding of the etiopathogenesis, evaluation, and management of diabetes complications are presented by authors who are well known experts in the field. The variety of topics covered in this issue ranges from microvascular complications, such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy to macrovascular disease and acute metabolic complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia. I am confident that this would be a valuable addition to any library and would be useful not only to practicing physicians and diabetologists but also to post graduate students. We would welcome your valuable feedback, so that we can further improve future issues of the ‘World Clinics in Diabetology’ series.
