    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Glucose intolerance and diabetes risk rise with age, often due to insulin resistance. Management prioritizes well-being and safety over strict control in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Context:

    • Aging is associated with increased prevalence of glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes.
    • Peripheral insulin resistance, stemming from post-receptor defects, is a key factor in age-related glucose intolerance.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the pathogenesis of glucose intolerance in advanced age.
    • To highlight the diagnostic importance and potential complications of diabetes in the elderly.
    • To review therapeutic strategies tailored for older adults with diabetes.

    Summary:

    • Age-related glucose intolerance is linked to insulin resistance from impaired post-receptor signaling.
    • Diabetes diagnosis in older adults is crucial to prevent significant morbidity and mortality.
