Dr. Jaiwant Rangi argues diabetes is not just a blood sugar problem but a cardiometabolic crisis affecting the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. Clinicians and patients need to shift from glucose control alone to treating the whole-organ damage the disease causes.

Yeah, Leila, I just referenced to that a little early, and I'll say that again. There is, and that's the heart of everything that we do and what I want patients to understand. The truth is diabetes is not a sugar disease. It is much more than sugar, and we call that, it's a cardiometabolic disease. It is gonna affect your heart. It is gonna affect your blood vessels. It's gonna affect your kidneys. It's gonna affect the different organs simultaneously. So we really need to have a vision bigger than just the blood sugar problem. Right.
