Advances in the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM), also referred to as diabetes, is a multifaceted and enduring metabolic disorder that has become a prominent global health concern. Advances in the treatment of diabetes have evolved in recent years, offering improved management options, better outcomes, and a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms. Metformin remains the first-line treatment for Type 2 diabetes, especially due to its ability to reduce liver glucose production and improve insulin sensitivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to personalize diabetes care. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of patient data, including CGM readings, insulin doses, and lifestyle factors, to provide personalized recommendations and predict future glucose trends. This can significantly improve diabetes management and reduce complications. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a “nutrition-based treatment provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist.” It comprises nutrition diagnosis and therapeutic and professional counseling services that aid in the management of DM
