ABSTRACT
The aging process conveys multiple changes in the organism,
as well as changes in individual’s surroundings. Such modifications
make the appearance of this sufferance, diagnose, and
treatment to be complex and different in the rest of the population.
The last makes necessary the coordinated work of the
multidisciplinary team, in which the diabetic senior, caretaker,
or relative most be actively participants. The success of preventive
and curative measures relies in increasing knowledge
about health and, life conditions (economic, social, community,
family, etc.) of each patient and of the senior population in
general; as well as facilitating the patient with information
about the means to have a better understanding about the
disease, and the available resources for its treatment, and to
be aware of the importance of achieving the therapeutic objectives.
This last part is particularly important for the nutritional
treatment for diabetes, since its objective is the change
in the habit, and customs of nutrition, and the physical activity
that the patient has realized throughout many years.
