| Annotation | Half of all people with diabetes in the UK are aged 65+, and a quarter are over 75. Yet the majority of large randomised clinical trials involving treatment and outcomes of patients with diabetes exclude these older (often frailer) people. This Best Practice Guide focuses on the Principal Aims of Diabetes Care, which have been summarised by the European Diabetes Working Party for Older People (see the website, www.instituteofdiabetes.org). It considers complications; interventions and treatments; the importance of audit for diabetes services; and future service developments. It notes other resources such as the National Service Framework for Diabetes (2003). (RH). |
