Ältere Menschen mit Diabetes haben häufig funktionelle und/oder kognitive Beeinträchtigungen – diese müssen bei der Therapieplanung berücksichtigt werden. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Empfehlungen der Deutschen Diabetes Gesellschaft hinsichtlich der Behandlungsziele für ältere Menschen mit Diabetes vor.
