Guidelines May Fall Short as More Older Adults Live With Type 1 Diabetes

The prevalence of people aged 65 years or older with type 1 diabetes has risen globally over the past 30 years, from 400 older adults per 100 000 in 1990 to 514 older adults per 100 000 in 2019, a recent population-based analysis found. Deaths from the condition fell over the same period, as did disability-adjusted life-years, although not as quickly as mortality rates.
