In Brief Physiological changes associated with aging have the potential to affect the treatment of diabetes. However, evidence regarding treatment of diabetes in geriatric patients has been limited, especially for "oldest-old" patients. Recent research has provided greater insight into the risks and benefits of treatment, and new guidelines provide more specific information regarding treatment goals in older people with diabetes and encourage greater individualization of treatment.
简而言之,与衰老相关的生理变化有可能影响糖尿病的治疗。然而,关于老年患者糖尿病治疗的证据有限,尤其是对于“高龄老人”患者。最近的研究对治疗的风险和益处有了更深入的了解,新指南提供了关于老年糖尿病患者治疗目标的更具体信息,并鼓励治疗更加个体化。
