Diabetes Care Evolving Beyond Sugar Levels to Protect Hearts, Kidneys

Many grown-ups in India have an illness called type 2 diabetes.

Right now, more than 100 million adults in India have it.

That is a very big number.

A group called the International Diabetes Federation studies diabetes around the world.

They think that by the year 2050, more than 150 million adults in India could have it.

That would make India one of the biggest places for diabetes on Earth.

Doctors and experts say we need to take care of diabetes in a new way.

It is not just about making the sugar number in your blood go down.

We also need to protect your heart and your kidneys.

That way, people with diabetes can stay healthy for a long time.
