The many faces of diabetes. Is there a need for re-classification? A narrative review
Sakran N et al., examine the physiological mechanisms in diabetes, risks for complications, the effects of bariatric and metabolic surgery and sheds a light on whether diabetes should be reclassified.
A cohort study by Zhang L et al., identified that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reoccurred in nearly half of women with a history of GDM. Also, risk factors for recurrent GDM and newly diagnosed GDM were shown to be different.

Aims and scope
BMC Endocrine Disorders is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the characterization, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders. The journal welcomes clinical, basic and translational science studies that provide insights into the pathophysiology, molecular and cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, or epidemiology of endocrine disorders. Articles on surgical advancements and new technologies aiding in the diagnosis, monitoring and computational modelling of endocrine disorders are also considered.
