Diabetes is a severe disease. It happens when the body cannot generate the needed amount of insulin and when the body does not utilize the insulin it produces. Thus, the study sought to examine whether diabetes impacts kidney failure among older adults in India. The study adopted the experimental research design. The data was collected from the doctors and nurses in Halasuru Referral Hospital. The study used the purposive sampling technique and collected the data. Notably, the researcher was able to get a sample size of 168 respondents. The collection of the data was done using questionnaires. The analysis of the data was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was found that when someone has diabetes, the blood glucose or blood sugar levels are too high. Over time, this can damage the kidneys. Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. Poorly controlled diabetes can cause damage to blood vessel clusters in your kidneys that filter waste from your blood. The study concluded that diabetes is positively and significantly related to kidney failure. High blood glucose levels, known as hyperglycemia, affect many central organ systems, particularly the kidney. The study recommended that high blood sugar be regulated to prevent damaging other body parts like the kidney. The elderly should be given tender care and ensure they eat foods with a low possibility if none that can lead to high blood sugar. People with diabetes should get regular screenings for kidney disease. Tests should be conducted regularly to examine how well the kidneys work. Effective communication between healthcare providers and people with diabetes is essential.
