Abstract:
Obtaining and maintaining adequate blood glucose control in the older adult with diabetes offers unique challenges. Intensive blood glucose control can increase the risk of hypoglycemia, which can be particularly risky in the older adult. Adding and adjusting diabetes medications in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and numerous other medications can also be challenging. The use of professional continuous glucose monitors-which are worn by the patient for up to two weeks and record blood sugars every 5 to 15 minutes-provides pharmacists and other health care professionals with valuable data for managing the care of the older adult with diabetes.
