Aging Well with Diabetes
A 10-Point Action Plan for Older Adults
Are you aging? Do you have diabetes (of any type)? Are you aging well with diabetes? Then this book is for you!
Health status is seldom stable as we get older, and the need or the ability to keep tight glucose levels may change over time for many reasons with advancing age. For example, in older adults with multiple risk factors for experiencing low blood sugar (that is, blood glucose), keeping levels on the lower side may be counterproductive. A better goal is aiming for levels that are as good as possible without increasing the risk for any lows at all, which catastrophically can lead to poor balance, falls, decreased thinking ability, and more when you’re older.
