Introduction
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide, leading to various complications that significantly impact their quality of life. Metabolomics, the comprehensive analysis of small molecules in biological samples, has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the metabolic alterations associated with diabetes and its complications. Metabolomic profiling allows for the identification of potential biomarkers and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, providing valuable insights for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
