- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined rates of overtreatment and deprescribing of antihyperglycemics at urban long-term care (LTC) facilities in British Columbia. Topics include data extracted for all residents, baseline characteristics of cohort, and results which suggest that overtreatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) continues to occur in LTC.
