Diabetes Spectrum Instructions for Authors
The editorial team of Diabetes Spectrum welcomes inquiries from potential authors within the diabetes health care community. We are especially interested in article ideas related to new technologies, protocol development, psychosocial issues, pharmacological therapy, diabetes complications, and exercise in diabetes management. Although many of our articles are invited, unsolicited original submissions are reviewed by the editorial team and considered for publication if they contain information that would be helpful to the journal's readership. All articles should be developed and written with the multidisciplinary diabetes care team in mind as the main audience.

ARTICLE TYPES
Research section articles: Each section includes a Preface, written by the
guest editor (GE). Each section then includes various types of articles
presenting different aspects of the topic. These may include a variety of
articles of differing lengths, including overview articles offering a
general discussion of the main aspects of the topic, case studies and
discussions, pro/con articles presenting differing views from diabetes
health professionals, summaries of and commentaries on relevant related
research articles, or other types of articles. Each section includes a brief
biographical sketch and photo of the guest editor.
Feature articles: Both invited feature articles and unsolicited original
articles. Original articles report on quantitative or qualitative research
relevant to diabetes care, as well as conceptual materials distilling the

institutions, achievements, and issues in diabetes education and health
care. Lengths vary.
