ABSTRACT
As the aging population increases, the number of elderly diabetic patients continues to increase. Elderly diabetic patients are more likely to develop cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than other age groups because of the increased susceptibility to other diseases caused by diabetes. As a result, the quality of life is reduced and the death rate is increasing, which is considered a social problem. Therefore, in order to manage such patients, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the elderly and solve problems that can occur in elderly diabetic patients.
