Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels, leading to heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. It has three types: Type 1 (autoimmune insulin deficiency), type 2 (insulin resistance linked to lifestyle), and gestational diabetes (temporary but increases future risk). 1 Global diabetes prevalence is projected to rise by 59.7?tween 2021–2050, reaching 1.31 billion cases due to obesity (49.6%) and demographic shifts (50.4%).2 Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) affects 20–50% of patients with type 2 diabetes, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD).3 Overall, managing diabetes involves lifestyle changes, medications, and early detection.
