Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrition therapy plays a pivotal role in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes and its micro- and macrovascular complications. Energy balance and nutrient quality have a profound impact on the physiological processes that regulate glucose homeostasis and are strong predictors of micro- and macrovascular complications. Beyond meal size and composition, it is now recognized that glucose metabolism and body weight control are also affected by the timing of nutrient consumption within the meal (e.g., the food sequence and nutrient preloads) and by the daily distribution of energy and macronutrient intake (e.g., early time-restricted feeding). In addition, the management of obesity in middle age and sarcopenia in the elderly is an important matter. It is especially important to consider how to treat elderly patients with reduced renal function (e.g., regarding the total amount of energy and protein preloads). The purpose of this Special Issue is, therefore, to collect contributions on how nutrients and dietary patterns influence glucose homeostasis and micro- and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

We welcome the submission of all types of manuscripts, including original research articles and up-to-date reviews and meta-analyses.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Salt intake is often estimated by the amount of sodium excreted in urine, and miso has been reported to increase it. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between obesity and high estimated salt intake with and without habitual miso consumption. Estimates of salt intake (g/day) were calculated using urinary sodium excretion, and a high estimated intake was defined as greater than the median amount of 9.5 g/day. Participants were divided into four groups based on estimated salt intake and miso consumption. Among 300 people, the proportions of obesity were 77.8% (n = 14/18), 40.2% (n = 53/132), 26.0% (n = 33/127), and 34.8% (n = 8/23) in the (+/−), (+/+), (−/+), and (−/−) groups of high estimated salt intake/habitual miso consumption, respectively. Compared with the (+/−) group, the adjusted odds ratios for obesity were 0.07 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.02–0.26, p < 0.001), 0.16 (95% CI: 0.03–0.76, p = 0.022), and 0.14 (95% CI: 0.04–0.51, p = 0.003) in the (−/+), (−/−), and (+/+) groups, respectively. The presence of obesity was not much higher in people with high estimated salt intake with habitual miso consumption than that in people without. Clinicians should be aware that miso consumption promotes salt excretion, which may lead to an apparently higher estimated salt intake than actual. Full article
