Abstract
A reduced fall in nocturnal blood pressure (BP) (i.e. non-dipping) has been related to an increase in target organ damage and cardiovascular (CV) events. Numerous studies have shown that non-dipping is highly prevalent in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. In this paper we reviewed recent literature and our personal data on the prevalence and clinical correlates of abnormal diurnal BP rhythm in diabetic patients; in particular we examined the association of this condition with renal, cardiac, and vascular pre-clinical organ damage as well as CV prognosis. A consistent body of evidence based on cross-sectional and longitudinal studies indicates that the lack of the physiologic nocturnal fall in BP may be considered a true clinical trait, a reliable marker of preclinical CV and renal disease and an independent predictor of future CV events. Thus, in the diabetic setting ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) should be regarded as a pivotal tool for improving CV risk stratification and therapeutic interventions.

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
