目的是制定老年人糖尿病治疗的临床实践指南。
糖尿病,特别是2型,在普通人群中越来越普遍,尤其是65岁以上的人。衰老对代谢调节的直接影响加剧了这些患者疾病的潜在病理生理学。同样,衰老效应与糖尿病相互作用,加速许多常见糖尿病并发症的进展。本指南的每个部分涵盖了病因和现有证据的所有方面,主要来自对照试验,关于这一人群的治疗选择和结果。目标是为执业医疗保健提供者提供指导,使糖尿病患者(1型和2型)受益,特别注意避免不必要和/或有害的不利影响。
The objective is to formulate clinical practice
guidelines for the treatment of diabetes in older adults.
Diabetes, particularly type 2, is becoming more prevalent in the general population, especially in individuals over the age of 65 years. The underlying pathophysiology of the disease in these patients is exacerbated by the direct effects of aging on metabolic regulation. Similarly, aging effects interact with diabetes to accelerate the progression of many common diabetes complications. Each section in this
guideline covers all aspects of the etiology and available evidence, primarily from controlled trials, on therapeutic options and outcomes in this population. The goal is to give guidance to practicing health care providers that will benefit patients with diabetes (both type 1 and type 2), paying particular attention to avoiding unnecessary and/or harmful adverse effects.
