Abstract
Aims The VEGAS study was conducted to evaluate representative data of de novo insulin-treated older patients with type 2 diabetes in the outpatient setting in Germany. Methods In this prospective, multicenter, non-interventional observational study, a nationwide written survey was carried out among practitioners (02/2011–06/2011). Older patients, aged ≥70 years, starting de novo insulin therapy, were documented. Results Data from 4,858 patients from about 500 centers (mean age: 78.2 ± 5.4 years; mean glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]: 70 ± 14.2 mmol/mol [8.6 ± 1.3 %]) were collected. The mean target HbA1c value was 55 ± 6.6 mmol/mol (7.2 ± 0.6 %). 91.1 % of geriatric patients were multi-morbid. 96.2 % showed at least one physical or psychological geriatric syndrome. Most of the patients were notably impaired according to their age. Conventional insulin therapy and basal-supported oral therapy were the most frequently planned treatment regimens (39.1 and 31.1 %). Important factors in the selection of the insulin treatment regimen were an efficient HbA1c decrease (65.6 %), easy administration (55.7 %), and also a patient’s ability to self-administer insulin (38.5 %). De novo insulin treatment increased care requirements (22.7 %). 22.3 % of the relatives were scheduled to receive special training. Specific training programs for older patients with diabetes were planned in only 7.3 % of cases. Conclusions The data demonstrate the high prevalence of geriatric syndromes during de novo insulin treatment. Individual therapeutic goals and regimes are based on practicability, in particular, the receipt of autonomy and the care requirement. Diabetes education with adapted programs is currently under-represented. Important factors for the choice of an insulin treatment regimen were an efficient HbA1c decrease, easy administration, and a patient’s ability for self-administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which geriatric patients with diabetes mellitus experience psychological insulin resistance (PIR). METHODS A total of 67 unselected geriatric patients with diabetes (mean age 82.8±6.7 years, diabetes duration 12.2 [0.04-47.2] years, 70.1% female) were recruited in a geriatric care center of a university hospital. A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) was performed including WHO-5, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Barthel-Index. We assessed PIR using the Barriers of Insulin Treatment Questionnaire (BIT) and the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale in a face-to-face interview. RESULTS Insulin-naïve patients (INP) showed higher PIR scores than patients already on insulin therapy (BIT-sum score: 4.3±1.4 vs. 3.2±1.0; p<0.001). INP reported in the BIT increased fear of injection and self-testing (2.4±2.4 vs. 1.3±0.8; p=0.016), expect disadvantages from insulin treatment (2.7±1.6 vs. 1.9±1.4; p=0.04), and fear of stigmatization by insulin injection (5.2±2.3 vs. 3.6±2.6; p=0.008). Fear of hypoglycemia, however, did not differ significantly (6.3±2.8 vs. 5.1±3.1; p=0.11). Depression was not shown to be a barrier to insulin therapy. CONCLUSION INP with diabetes have a significantly more negative attitude toward insulin therapy in comparison to patients already on insulin. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Systematic assessment of barriers of insulin therapy, individualized diabetes treatment plans and information of patients may help to overcome such negative attitudes, leading to quicker initiation of therapy, improved adherence to treatment and a better quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes, a highly prevalent, chronic disease, is associated with increasing frailty and functional decline in older people, with concomitant personal, social, and public health implications. We describe the rationale and methods of the multi-modal intervention in diabetes in frailty (MID-Frail) study. METHODS/DESIGN The MID-Frail study is an open, randomised, multicentre study, with random allocation by clusters (each trial site) to a usual care group or an intervention group. A total of 1,718 subjects will be randomised with each site enrolling on average 14 or 15 subjects. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate, in comparison with usual clinical practice, the effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention (specific clinical targets, education, diet, and resistance training exercise) in frail and pre-frail subjects aged ≥70 years with type 2 diabetes in terms of the difference in function 2 years post-randomisation. Difference in function will be measured by changes in a summary ordinal score on the short physical performance battery (SPPB) of at least one point. Secondary outcomes include daily activities, economic evaluation, and quality of life. DISCUSSION The MID-Frail study will provide evidence on the clinical, functional, social, and economic impact of a multi-modal approach in frail and pre-frail older people with type 2 diabetes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01654341.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In clinical practice Body Mass Index is generally used to evaluate overweight status in adults. The present multicenter study examines whether Body Mass Index (BMI), age- and gender-adjusted Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score, or calculated %body fat is a better predictor for cardiovascular disease risk factors, specifically hypertension and dyslipidemia, in a high-risk population. METHODS Data of 42 048 adult type 2 diabetic patients (median age: 67.1 years) from 161 centers in Germany (n=158) and Austria (n=3) registered in a standardized, prospective, computer-based documentation program, were included in the study. For each patient body weight, height, blood pressure and blood lipids were documented. Spearman correlation analyses as well as multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between anthropometric measurements and cardiovascular disease risk factors. RESULTS Correlation and regression analyses revealed minor, non significant differences between the 3 anthropometric measurements (all p>0.05). In both genders, relationships between anthropometric measurements and hypertension or reduced HDL-cholesterol were nearly identical. Only for increased triglycerides, the relations with the 3 anthropometric measurements were significantly stronger in males than in females (p<0.0001, respectively). With increasing age, associations between anthropometric measurements and hypertension, reduced HDL-cholesterol or increased triglycerides became weaker. Spearman correlation coefficients for total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol revealed weak associations with the 3 anthropometric measurements. CONCLUSION Compared to Body Mass Index, age- and gender-adjusted Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score, or calculation of %body fat, has no further benefit to predict cardiovascular disease risk factors in adult type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIM To characterize the clinical phenotype of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with respect to age, gender, and BMI. METHOD Anonymized data of 120,183 people with T2DM from the German/Austrian multicenter Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation database were analyzed based on chronological age or age at diagnosis (0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, and ≥80 years). Age, gender, and BMI comparisons with clinical phenotype were made using χ(2) and Kruskal-Wallis tests (SAS V9.2). RESULTS Of all the patients, 51.3% were male, average age was 67.112.7 years, and average disease duration was 9.99.1 years. More girls than boys were diagnosed during adolescence and more men than women during adulthood (2060 years). No gender differences existed when age at diagnosis was 60 years. Patients were obese on average (BMI: 30.5±6.1 kg/m(2)) and had significantly higher BMI values than German population peers. The BMI gap was widest in the younger age categories and closed with increasing age. Adult women were significantly more obese than men. Obese patients more often had elevated HbA1c (≥7.5%), hypertension or dyslipidemia (irrespective of age), microalbuminuria (adults), or retinopathy (elderly) than nonobese patients. More men than women (20-60 years) had hypertension, dyslipidemia, or microalbuminuria while more women than men (≥60 years) had hypertension or dyslipidemia. CONCLUSION During puberty, more girls than boys were diagnosed with T2DM while during adulthood males predominated. T2DM manifested at comparatively lower BMI in males, and younger patients were more obese at diagnosis. Age, gender, and BMI were also associated with poor metabolic control and cardiovascular disease comorbidities/complications.

Abstract
AIM Elderly and old patients with Type 1 diabetes represent a growing population that requires thorough diabetes care. The increasing relevance of this subgroup, however, plays only a minor role in the literature. Here, we describe elderly patients with Type 1 diabetes on the basis of a large multi-centre database in order to point out special features of this population. METHOD Data of 64609 patients with Type 1 diabetes treated by 350 qualified diabetes treatment centres were assessed and analysed by age group. RESULTS Compared with the age group ≤ 60 years, patients aged >60 years (n=3610 61-80 years and n=377 >80 years old) were characterized by a longer diabetes duration (27.7 vs. 7.7 years), an almost double risk for severe hypoglycaemia (40.1 vs. 24.3/100 patient-years), a lower level of HbA(1c) [60 vs. 67 mmol/mol (7.6 vs. 8.3%)] and higher percentages of microalbuminuria (34.5 vs. 15.6%), diabetic retinopathy (45.2 vs. 8.3%), myocardial infarction (9.0 vs. 0.4%) or stroke (6.8 vs. 0.3%). Elderly patients used insulin pumps less frequently (12.2 vs. 23.8%), but more often used conventional premixed insulin treatment (10.8 vs. 3.8%). Differences between elderly and younger patient groups were significant, respectively. CONCLUSION Diabetes care of elderly patients with Type 1 diabetes involves individualized treatment concepts. Increased hypoglycaemia risk and functional impairment attributable to diabetes-associated and/or age-related disorders must be taken into account.
