Responses to glycemic control therapy according to age, gender, level of adiposity, and duration of diabetes in type 2 diabetic patients
Conclusion: The present findings suggest lower responses to glycemic control therapy in elderly, overweight/obese, and long-standing diabetic patients when compared to the non-elderly, non-overweight/obese, and newly diagnosed diabetic patients. It is recommended that treatment criteria for type 2 diabetes should account for the age, level of adiposity, and diabetic duration of the patient in order to make optimal therapeutic decisions for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in adults.
