Type 1 Diabetes and Aging - 21/03/23
Résumé |
The number of older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing due to an overall increase in life expectancy and improvement in diabetes management and treatment of complications. They are a heterogeneous cohort due to the dynamic process of aging and the presence of comorbidities and diabetes-related complications. A high risk for hypoglycemia unawareness and severe hypoglycemia has been described. Periodic assessment of health status and adjustment of glycemic goals to mitigate hypoglycemia is imperative. Continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump, and hybrid closed-loop systems are promising tools to improve glycemic control and mitigate hypoglycemia in this age group.
