- Abstract
This article describes an approach to individualize the care of older patient with diabetes mellitus in light of the application of clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in the U.S. Several challenges posed by the application of CPG are described. One of which was that these guidelines often fail to provide guidance to physicians concerning the prioritization of multiple therapies. Practical and patient-centered CPG is ideal when caring for older people with diabetes mellitus.
