Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major chronic disease worldwide. Over the next decade, the largest increase in diabetes prevalence is expected to be in those > 75 years old. Diabetes self-care and prevention of complications can be challenging, but, when combined with the demands of self-care for other chronic conditions, it can become overwhelming to patients and caregivers. The glycemic targets and treatment options are unique to older adults. Clinicians should treat elderly patients with diabetes based on comorbid conditions, functional status, and life expectancy using a person-centered, team-based approach.
