Diabetes Is a Systems Failure, Not a Numbers Game

Dr. Jaiwant Rangi argues that diabetes care focuses too narrowly on A1C numbers and medication, missing the systemic failures that actually drive the disease. Real treatment means addressing upstream causes, not just managing lab values.

We need to change that mindset that when we are trying to address multiple upstream factors, just putting somebody on a medication is not the answer. We give drug for number. If your A1C is at this level, we should use this medication. You know, you should limit your diet to this many carbohydrates. So people are very number-centric and they are used to that. But diabetes is not a number problem only. Like I mentioned earlier, it's a systems problem.
