Abstract
With the ageing of populations even in developing countries and the epidemic of diabetes sweeping across India, elderly diabetics form a major fraction of patients in the physicians' daily practice. The clinical presentation of diabetes in this subgroup is somewhat different from the younger group of patients, and calls for emphasis on unusual features. Further, the diagnosis and management, including the choice of drugs are modified by the changed metabolism of the ageing patient. Lastly, the goals of therapy must be clearly defined keeping in mind the real danger of hypoglycemia in elderly diabetics.
