Review

Type II diabetes: a treatment approach for the older patient

M Miller. Geriatrics. 1996 Aug.

Abstract

Noninsulin-dependent (type II) diabetes mellitus occurs most commonly with advancing age. The disease is accompanied by significant risk for morbidity of many organ systems and by risk for premature death. Morbidity and mortality are linked to persistent elevation of blood glucose concentration of even moderate degree. Through diet, weight reduction, exercise, and drug therapies, it is possible to bring blood glucose concentrations to close to normal levels and to reduce the likelihood of development or progression of diabetic complications.
