Abstract
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression allows the organism to respond/adapt to environmental conditions without changing the gene coding sequence. Epigenetic modifications have also been found to control gene expression in various diseases, including diabetes. Epigenetic changes induced by hyperglycemia in multiple target organs contribute to metabolic memory of diabetic complications. The long-lasting development of diabetic complications even after achieving glucose control has been partly attributed to epigenetic changes in target cells. Specific epigenetic drugs might rescue chromatin conformation associated to hyperglycemia possibly slowing down the onset of diabetes-related complications. The current review will describe the updated epigenetics in diabetes that can be used to personalize a more focused treatment.
