Introduction: Diabetes belongs to the chronic disease group with an average high prevalence rate of 463 million worldwide. This research aims to investigate factors associated with self-care behavior among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The sample included 441 patients diagnosed with diabetes admitted to the Tambon Health Promoting Hospital in Nakhon Nayok Province. The sample size used in this study was calculated according to the sampling group of Yamane with a 95% confidence level. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis at the statistical significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the average value of knowledge was 9.17 (SD=2.38), and the average values of attitude and social support behavior towards diabetes were 2.72 (SD=0.64) and 1.83 (SD=0.27), respectively. The results indicated that knowledge, attitude, and social support towards diabetes showed an average of a medium level. Moreover, the average value of self-care behavior towards diabetes was 30.52 (SD= 7.19). The results indicated that the knowledge about diabetes, attitude towards diabetes, and social support towards diabetes positively affected self-care behavior towards diabetes with the statistical significance of 0.05. Conclusion: Health promotion programs for patients with diabetes should be organized to promote knowledge and awareness on proper health behavior. In order to take care of themselves, diabetic patients must first get awareness regarding diabetes and then build skills for self-care. The results obtained in the study can help diabetic patients stay healthier, reduce the manifestation of both acute and chronic complications, and improve the quality of life of the elderly with diabetes.

AbstractChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often accompanies type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, background factors affecting these diseases in the elderly remain unclear. Eligible patients with T2DM were divided into two age groups—non-elderly (<65 years) and elderly (≥65 years); COPD, ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced expiratory volume (FEV1/FVC ratio), and percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1% predicted) were examined, and factors related to reduced respiratory function according to age group were evaluated. In total, 371 patients with T2DM were analysed. COPD was found in 9 patients (5.3%) in the non-elderly group and 45 (22.5%) in the elderly group. In the elderly, male sex, low body mass index (BMI), insulin therapy, and high C-peptide immunoreactivity levels were factors related to COPD. In the non-elderly, age, female sex, high BMI were factors related to decreased FEV1% predicted. Female sex was factor related to decreased FEV1% predicted in both age groups. Low BMI was a factor related to reduced respiratory function in elderly patients and high BMI was a factor related to reduced respiratory function in non-elderly patients. Thus, BMI needs to be managed according to the age and general condition of T2DM patients.

Glycemic Target

The elderly patient with diabetes represents the paradigmatic example of a "patient-centered approach" in the therapeutic strategy of diabetic disease. Treatment of the elderly with diabetes is complicated by significant clinical and functional heterogeneity: in these patients, comorbidities and polytherapies are extremely common and the risk of interactions and/or adverse effects becomes relevant. In this particular population it is therefore important to identify a less restrictive glycemic target, although it is not acceptable to consider hyperglycemia in the elderly as a physiological condition. Due to their efficacy, high tolerability, ease of use and cardiovascular safety profile, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitors are a preferred treatment option rather than sulfonylureas and glinides in elderly patients that are not adequately controlled with metformin alone or are intolerant or have contraindications to metformin. We describe the case of an 82-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus for about 25 years, with a sedentary lifestyle due to a partial motor difficulty linked to instability. For over 15 years it has also suffered from chronic ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension and chronic renal failure. The use of linagliptin in this patient therapy confirms the known tolerability ease of use and safety profile of the drug. The data obtained support how it is possible to safely and independently manage the therapy with linagliptin in combination with insulin, which is therefore a valid therapeutic option in elderly patients with high cardiovascular risk undergoing multiple treatments (Diabetology).

A large-scale epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is observed with advanced ageing worldwide. The prevalence of T2DM significantly increases with age. Therefore, this review aimed to summarise the data on T2DM in advanced and older aged patients. The primary geriatric syndromes, which should be considered for the management of older patients (cognitive impairment, sarcopenia, orthostatic hypotension, falls, urinary incontinence, senile asthenia, etc.), are presented. The causes of the high risk for hypoglycaemia in elderly patients are analysed. Improving the treatment for T2DM is a priority of modern medicine. Using antihyperglycaemic therapy is especially difficult in this population due to the high risk of hypoglycaemia and the multi-organ pathology leading to polypharmacy. Therefore, special attention is paid to treatment recommendations. Hypoglycaemic drugs used in elderly patients should be low risk of hypoglycaemia, without nephro- and hepatic toxicity, safe for cardiovascular organs, easy to administer. Furthermore, advantages and limitations of using various groups of hypoglycaemic drugs in elderly patients are discussed. DPP-4 inhibitors are also considered in detail. Modern data on mechanisms of hypoglycaemic action of DPP-4 inhibitors are presented. Possibilities of using sitagliptin in elderly patients were also considered. Finally, evidence-based studies demonstrating the obvious advantages of sitagliptin for the treatment of T2DM in the elderly and advanced aged population are discussed.

The research included seven original scientific papers. All of them addressed the main problem and could give an adequate answer. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of exercise content on people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the importance of this activity on the health of people with this problem. The selection of works from 2002 to 2019 was taken as a method. We conclude that the physical activity of people with DM is partially limited due to the specificity of the disease. Special attention should be paid to side effects, especially hypoglycemia. Exercise frequency should be at least three days a week for aerobic activities and two days a week for resistance activities. The risk of hypoglycemia is increased, glycemic control in this population is more difficult to achieve. The goals of DM management in the elderly should be set differently for each patient.

Abstract Background In Japan, there has been a remarkable increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes in elderly patients. This study aimed to clarify the renal status in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants and methods There were 978 patients with type 2 diabetes who were classified into three groups: Group 1 (aged < 65 years of age), Group 2 (65–74 years of age), and Group 3 (≥ 75 years of age). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin level were measured. Moreover, the frequencies of each stage of chronic kidney disease for each group were determined, and differences among the three groups were analyzed. Results The mean eGFR in Group 3 was 63.2 ± 19.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, which was lower than those in Group 1 (83.3 ± 22.8 mL/min/1.73 m2) and Group 2 (72.0 ± 19.4 mL/min/1.73 m2). The percentage of low eGFR (< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) with normo- and microalbuminuria in Group 3 was 31.9%, which was higher than the percentages observed in Group 1 (7.1%) or Group 2 (16.1%). Diabetic macroangiopathy was frequently observed in these patients. The frequency of low eGFR with proteinuria was 10.2%. In this group, diabetic micro- and macroangiopathies were frequently noted. Conclusion In elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, renal dysfunction is characterized by low eGFR with normo- and microalbuminuria. In this group, macroangiopathy was more common than microangiopathy. The elderly patients with diabetes with low eGFR with proteinuria frequently had micro- and macroangiopathies.
