Elderly Patients with Diabetes

Managing diabetes in older adults is rarely about tighter numbers — it’s about the right target for the right patient. This webinar works through the practical realities of insulin therapy in elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes: individualising HbA1c goals across the functional categories, keeping hypoglycaemia (and the falls and fractures that follow it) at bay, choosing the right insulin and regimen, and shifting priorities appropriately in frailty and end-of-life care.

Presented by Dr MLI Mashitisho, it’s short, current, and built for a working clinician’s schedule — watch it free, and earn your CPD points when you’re ready.
