Geriatric diabetes

---

Geriatric patients and their caregivers face a unique set of challenges when it comes to the treatment of diabetes. Cognitive, physical, emotional, and social changes can affect how successfully the patient is able to manage the disease, and observational studies have shown that older adults with diabetes suffer age-related conditions, such as frailty, incontinence, and cognitive impairment, at a higher rate than do those without. Editors Medha Munshi, HMS instructor in medicine, and Lewis Lipsitz, HMS professor of medicine, both at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, have compiled a comprehensive guide to geriatric diabetes, addressing the ways in which the disease presents differently in older patients, the comorbidities that can occur with geriatric diabetes, and the effect the aging process has on patients’ abilities to self-manage the disease. The book presents detailed descriptions of conditions associated with geriatric diabetes and offers strategies for clinicians to overcome age-related obstacles and tailor their care to the specific needs of an older patient.
