Abstract:
The specific features of diabetic microangiopathy include thickening of basement membrane with deposition of a transparent material.Diabetic retinopathy,neuropathy,cardiomyopathy,as well as diabetic foot are the main complications.It remains controversial whether intensive treatment may reduce the clinical renal end point events significantly,while evidence-based medicine confirmed that intensive treatment can reduce the trace and heavy proteinuria,neuropathy,and retinopathy.It will benefit the patients if comprehensive,and standard and,persistent treatments,are started as early as possible,and it consider the features of elderly patients.Managing Older People with Type 2 Diabetes Global Guidelines (IDF) and Chinese Elderly Diabetes Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment Measures point out that microvascular complications in elderly patients with diabetes closely related to the quality of life,to which we should pay great attention.Early prevention,early diagnosis,early treatment,reach the standard in early stage will be of important clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of senile diabetic microvascular lesion.
