Abstract

Clinical practice recommendations advise individualizing diabetes treatment for elderly people, especially those living in long-term care facilities. Elderly patients face one of two main risks: either excessive treatment leading to hypoglycemia or insufficient treatment leading to progression of complications and excess mortality. This article describes a 10-year prospective observational study of people with diabetes in a long-term care home to determine the effect of routine glucose monitoring and monthly evaluation by a diabetes specialist with a goal of improving A1C. Its findings suggest that minimal glucose monitoring and monthly medical follow-up can optimize patient outcomes and help to maintain quality of life without over-medicalization of older people with diabetes in institutional settings.
