All original articles will be subjected to peer-review. The types of articles include original research contributions of either clinical or basic laboratory research, epidemiology and case reports. Reviews should be critical and relevant to our region. The categories of articles include Original Research, Reviews, CME Updates, Case Reports & Editorials relevant to the field of Diabetes (Type 1 and 2 Diabetes) and Vascular Disease, including strokes.

The Editorial Board is representative of the multi-disciplinary nature of Diabetes Care and provides guidance on the development of the Journal, also with regard to indexing and acceptance by Educational authorities.
