Quality of the Management of Diabetes in Elderly People With Dementia in France

Along with population ageing, the association of chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Related Syndromes (ADRS) and diabetes mellitus is increasing in clinical practice. According to ADRS severity, guidelines of diabetes care may be adapted for a personalized monitoring and treatment. The consequences on diabetes complications are not known and can also threaten dementia progression. Based on a nationwide healthcare reimbursement database, the present study aimed to compare diabetes care and the incidence of acute complications between patients with or without ADRS, in a longitudinal perspective focusing on the pivotal period of ADRS identification by the healthcare system.
