[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2288058, member: 523528"] "Second, people older than 65 years are more likely to have a longer duration of diabetes and a greater prevalence of diabetic complications. Third, diabetes and older age often correlate with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and obesity". So what we've known all along.. You're at higher risk of you are older and have diabetic complications and have other Co morbidities. The risk remains at 2 times if you are type 2 and 3.5 times if you are type 1.... However 2 and 3.5 times a small baseline risk (eg under 40 with good hba1c) is still a small overall risk. Obviously the same is true the other way... 2 and 3.5 times a big baseline risk (eg 85 with heart disease) is still a big overall risk. One size fits all for diabetics just isn't really applicable.
