Abstract
Type 2 diabetes and comorbidity represent serious health problems to the aging population. This qualitative study aimed to describe older adults' perceived challenges with providers treating their type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions. Older adults perceived a general unwillingness from their providers to treat their multiple health conditions and address their individual preferences for care. Older adults may require more in-depth communication with their providers in addition to individualized treatment plans that address their preferences for comorbidity management.Entities:
