[Highly accessed] NAFLD as a continuum: from obesity to metabolic syndrome and diabetes
This review focuses on the clinical and pathophysiological connections between NAFLD, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The authors reviewed non-invasive methods and several scoring systems for estimative of steatosis and fibrosis, proposing a multistep process for NAFLD evaluation. Treatment options are discussed, with a focus on the available therapies for obesity and/or type 2 diabetes that impact each stage of NAFLD.

Covid-19 Collection
Announcement: Covid-19
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Our systems will continue to remind authors, reviewers and editors of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
Aims and scope
Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome publishes articles on all aspects of the pathophysiology of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
By publishing original material exploring any area of laboratory, animal or clinical research into diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the journal offers a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions into the issues of importance to the relevant community.
The journal aims to help health care providers improve the management of people afflicted by these syndromes by increasing knowledge and stimulating research in the field.
