Diabetes mellitus.
Elderly diabetic patients require education in dietary therapy, physical activity, and self-monitoring of glycaemic control. However, rather than tight control, treatment should aim for a simple regimen which will relieve symptoms without introducing complications of its own. It is important to be aware of possible interactions between hypoglycaemic agents and drugs given for other diseases.
