Individualized glycemic targets for older type 2 diabetes patients supported by cohort study

An international group of researchers led by Monash University, Australia, supports clinical guideline recommendations for relaxed glycemic targets in older type 2 diabetes patients with results from a large cohort study. The research paper, “Dementia Risk in People With Type 2 Diabetes,” published in JAMA Neurology, looked for a cumulative association between older patients with type 2 diabetes, glycemic control maintenance and dementia.
