Comanagement of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: better adherence to ADA guidelines?

Abstract

This study reviewed intermediate diabetes outcomes including hemoglobin A1c (A1C) values, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in individuals 65 years and older with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and then compared outcomes between those managed by a geriatrician or diabetes specialist with those who were comanaged by both a specialist and geriatrician or primary care physician.
