[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2469074, member: 196898"] This is the Hull area website, and not necessarily Nationwide. The general exclusion of elderly patients is indicative of an attitude that we oldies are unable to cope with a tighter control regime possibly due to frailty or dementia. or other cognitive disorder. They are IMO wrong to make the exclusion so black and white, but should allow for inclusion of carer input and general cognitive capability. Also they do not reflect the current status of dietary intervention or use of bariatric surgery that are relatively new tools to use, and which are not in themselves hypopoglycaemic inducing interventions. I can understand there being a need for a warning or higher control band for insulin or sulfonyl users where hypo events can occur. But that is not what this advice seems to be giving, It is a one size fits all, and I mean ALL. [/QUOTE]
