- Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. According to Hungarian data from 2014, it affects 7,3% of the population. At the time of their cancer diagnosis, 8–18% of all patients have preexisting diabetes mellitus. Some studies have identified a diabetes prevalence up to 30% of cancer patients. The treatment of diabetic patients in palliative care differs from the curative methods and this is very important to be communicated with the patient, the family members and health-care providers. Objective: The aim of this publication is to develop a method of control and treatment of the palliative care patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: Based on studies in international literature, a suggestion can be made that can be applied in domestic practice. Suggestions: This suggestion introduces individual and more liberal control and management methods for a better quality of life in this special patient group. Conclusion: The suggestion for the treatment of diabetes helps provide quality care for palliative patients. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(31): 1231–1236.
