Diabetes in the elderly
There is no unified concept of age for elderly diabetes. In China, most people adopt the definition proposed by the United Nations in 1980 that diabetic patients over 60 years old are elderly diabetes; while some countries use 65 years old as the dividing line. According to the time of onset, elderly diabetes can be divided into diabetes with onset in the elderly and diabetes with onset in the young and middle-aged and continued to the elderly. The former are almost all type 2 diabetes; while the latter are mostly type 2 diabetes, but also include a very small number of type 1 diabetes patients. In particular, people degenerate physically and psychologically in old age, and are prone to coexisting with many diseases, making elderly diabetes more complicated than diabetes in the young and middle-aged, and more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the many characteristics of elderly diabetes in order to prevent and treat it reasonably.
