Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition with an increasing prevalence worldwide, especially in the older population. T2DM leads to micro- and microvascular complications, cognitive impairment, and risk of falls, fractures, and frailty. The ideal management of T2DM therapy in such a peculiar population could not disregard a broad evaluation of frailty, in order to set a glycemic target appropriate for the life expectancy and the reserve which the older patients present, as also underlined in the most recent guidelines. Incredibly interesting would then be a detailed discussion about what the new therapeutic targets should be, especially in view of the new therapeutic strategies brought forth by new available drugs with a wide spectrum of action. Interest should particularly be addressed to older patients, both in the acute care setting and in the chronic one, considering the interplay with frailty, chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and renal impairment, and polytherapy.
