Diabetes is a common condition requiring appropriate and individualised management in aged care homes. This module differentiates between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. In relation to Type 2 diabetes, it provides information on the medication management options available, their benefits and potential adverse effects for monitoring. There can be a challenge when determining glycaemic targets in the elderly to balance the risks of hypoglycaemia with the benefit of tight glycaemic control, which is covered in this module.
