Series 2 episode 9. Nick Thomas. Type 1 diabetes in the older adult

from One in Six Billion · host Andrew Hattersley and Maggie Shepherd

Dr Nick Thomas talks about Type 1 diabetes in the older adult. In an iconoclastic study he showed most cases of Type 1 diabetes occur in adults rather than children. In older adults it is very hard to recognise as 98-99% of people with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. Older adults with Type 1 diabetes have just as rapid a decline in their own insulin and need all the expert care offered to children. Send a text
