Diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) have been shown to effectively delay, and sometimes prevent, the progression from prediabetes to diabetes; however, labeling someone with prediabetes comes with potential negative psychological, financial, and self-perception consequences. Many older adults with prediabetes nowadays have a relatively "low-risk" form of prediabetes that rarely progresses to diabetes and may regress to normoglycemia. In this article, we review the impact of aging on glucose metabolism and provide a holistic approach to cases of prediabetes in older adults that maximizes the benefit-risk balance of interventions aimed at addressing prediabetes.
糖尿病预防计划(DPP)已被证明可有效延缓,甚至有时可预防前驱糖尿病向糖尿病的进展;然而,将某人标记为前驱糖尿病可能会带来潜在的负面心理、经济和自我认知后果。如今,许多患有前驱糖尿病的老年人都存在一种相对“低危”的前驱糖尿病形式,这种前驱糖尿病很少进展为糖尿病,而且可能会恢复到正常血糖水平。在本文中,我们回顾了衰老对葡萄糖代谢的影响,并为老年人的前驱糖尿病病例提供了一种整体方法,最大限度地平衡了针对前驱糖尿病干预措施的获益-风险比。
