This session introduces the central themes of the programme. It emphasises the importance of adopting an individualised approach to diabetes care, tailored to the needs and circumstances of the patient and taking into account personal preferences, co-morbidities, life-expectancy and overall quality of life. It examines the pros and cons of aggressive long-term treatment interventions in frail, elderly patients and considers available evidence to support individualised treatment decisions in such circumstances.
