Abstract:
The care of elderly people with diabetes has become a real public health issue due to the growing number of patients. In these patients, the complications of the pathology are often combined with more particularly gerontological manifestations. It is therefore essential to adapt the therapeutic objectives according to the clinical presentation of each of them. If the new drug classes are promising because they are effective in terms of cardiovascular and renal protection, it is crucial to evaluate their benefit-risk balance for each individual. The quality of care for these elderly patients relies on a well-trained multidisciplinary medical and paramedical team.
