Abstract:
Above 70 years of age, it is no more necessary to be obsessed by the prevention of late complications in introducing an intensive treatment. A symptomatic one, particularly with insulin is more appropriate. Before treating diabetics it is necessary to search symptomatically for aggravating factors like the use of thiazide or intercurrent diseases.
