As the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD), Journal of Diabetes Investigation is a clinical and experimental diabetes research journal encompassing basic science, clinical practice, and epidemiology in diabetes. Our scope also covers related areas including prevention and treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology.
We publish translational research, providing a forum for clinicians and researchers to exchange ideas.

The cholesterol‐HDL‐glucose (CHG) index and traditional adiposity markers in predicting diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy
- Journal of Diabetes Investigation
-  28 May 2025
Graphical Abstract

This study explores the association of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP), markers of visceral adiposity, with diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy. The findings revealed that VAI and LAP values were significantly elevated in diabetic nephropathy but showed no significant association with diabetic retinopathy. These results suggest a potential role of visceral adiposity in the pathogenesis of renal complications.

Diabetes advocacy in the Asia–Pacific region
- Journal of Diabetes Investigation
-  27 May 2025
Graphical Abstract

Advocacy efforts to reduce the burdens of people with diabetes are growing. However, the situation varies significantly across countries and in our Asia–Pacific region. Through mutual understanding and collaboration, we aim to strengthen advocacy efforts across the Asia–Pacific region and contribute to global initiatives that enhance health outcomes for people with diabetes.

Young‐onset type 2 diabetes—Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management
- Journal of Diabetes Investigation
-  24 May 2025
Graphical Abstract

The burden of young-onset type 2 diabetes is increasing globally, disproportionately affecting non-White ethnic groups and low- and middle-income countries. Young-onset type 2 is more heterogeneous regarding the genetic and environmental contributions to its underlying pathophysiology, which poses challenges for glycemic management. This review summarizes recent studies on the epidemiology of young-onset type 2 diabetes and its complications, discusses the genetic and environmental risk factors, and provides insights on diabetes prevention and management to address the unique medical and psychosocial issues associated with young-onset type 2 diabetes.
