Abstract
The art and science of diabetes care, education, and management has evolved significantly over the last few decades. Yet, the United States is experiencing an escalation in the number of diabetes cases. Diabetes is a highly prevalent health condition in the aging population with more than 9 million (26.8%) people 65 years of age and older having diabetes and over 50% with pre-diabetes. In older patients, it is imperative to know the type of diabetes a person has is accurately diagnosed to ensure the correct treatment is used. Pharmacists need to individualize treatment goals and develop optimal therapy plans that focus beyond glycemic management and consider cardiovascular (CV), renal, weight, and hypoglycemic risks and benefits for effective and efficacious care in older patients.
