As the global population continues to age, the rising prevalence of diabetes among older adults has become a significant public health concern. Consequently, effective and safe management of diabetes mellitus in this population is an increasingly critical focus in clinical practice. Older patients present considerable variability in functional status, with many experiencing physical disabilities, visual impairments, cognitive decline, or psychological conditions such as depression. Therefore, individualized treatment strategies that consider the presence and progression of geriatric syndromes, comorbidities, and the risk of hypoglycemia are essential for optimizing the pharmacological management of diabetes in older adults.
