铁是人体必需的微量元素，但自上世纪80年代以来，人们逐渐注意到铁过负荷对健康的危害，尤其是能够增加2型糖尿病的患病风险。
一些铁过负荷相关疾病，如HH（遗传性血色病）等，常伴有继发性的2型糖尿病。大量横断面和前瞻性调查也显示，高铁膳食人群的糖尿病发病率明显偏高，糖尿病患者的机体铁水平显著高于正常人群。
在临床治疗上，去铁疗法已被证实可以有效改善糖尿病患者的血糖水平和胰岛素敏感性。报告将系统回顾铁过负荷与2型糖尿病相关性的研究成果，从不同角度阐述两者之间的密切联系。
患者教育视频：2型糖尿病
This video shows type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the level of sugar in the blood is too high. The animation begins by showing the normal physiology of food absorption and the mechanism of action of insulin. The pathology of type 2 diabetes is portrayed, including low insulin production, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and common symptoms. Acute complications are shown, including diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome, hypoglycemia (insulin shock), seizures, and diabetic coma. Chronic complications are displayed, including atherosclerosis, blindness, neuropathy, and renal failure. Multiple treatments are detailed at the end of the animation, including blood glucose monitoring, healthy eating, regular exercise, and medications.
