Abstract
The treatment of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic geriatric patients needs an individual risk-benefit analysis. The overtreatment of hyperglycemia in the sense of metabolic control that is too tight (HbA(1)c level <6%) may lead to increased mortality. As a rule, the target HbA(1)c level in geriatric patients with diabetes mellitus should be between 7 and 8%.Entities:
