More than half of the UK diabetic population is aged over 65 years. Nurses have an important role in promoting the health and well-being of older people with diabetes. Management of diabetes aims to relieve symptoms and prevent or delay the progression of long-term complications. The degree of glycaemic control should be decided on an individual basis.
