- Abstract
These overarching themes appear not specifically related to diabetes or cardiovascular medication, since they are consistent with findings related to deintensification of other medication.[3] There were, however, some subthemes identified in both studies that appear to be specific for medication - like diabetes medication - that is monitored and intensified based on individual treatment targets. With great interest, we read the study of Pilla et al. on perspectives of older adults on deintensifying diabetes medications.[1] The results presented confirm findings from a previous study on the perspectives of older adults on deintensifying diabetes and cardiovascular medication.[2] We believe there is merit in accumulating the results of both studies and contrasting these with what has been learned from studies focusing on deintensifying medication in general.
