Abstract:
Dementia and type 2 diabetes are a serious public health problem worldwide, with increasing incidence with age. Diabetes is a risk factor for the development of dementia. Having cognitive dysfunction impairs a person's ability to perform self-care tasks. Also, community dwelling adults can have varying levels of functional impairment and can also have other geriatric syndromes. This article presents a multidisciplinary approach and treatment and goals tailored individually to patients with different levels of cognitive and activities of daily living impairments. Three case studies show the management of diabetes in older adults with different levels of care needs.
