A review in Current Diabetes Reports examines the bidirectional relationship between type 2 diabetes and pulmonary dysfunction, establishing the lung as both a target and contributor to diabetic pathology. The authors detail how chronic hyperglycemia drives pulmonary microvascular damage, reduced lung elasticity, and increased susceptibility to infections such as tuberculosis. For a specialist focused on diabetic complications and advancing care standards in India, this review highlights the need to integrate pulmonary function assessment into routine diabetes management, particularly for patients with concomitant infections or unexplained dyspnea.
