Diabetes is not a single disease, it is accompanied by many other disorders, especially among the elderly. A study among the elderly diabetic in Delhi found a high number of them suffer from low blood sugar and depression.
Delhi Diabetes Research Centre conducted a study among 1,200 diabetics in the age group between 65 and 82 years. The subjects were followed up for three years for various other co-morbidities.
It was found that 36 per cent of the subjects faced hypoglycaemia, or low blood sugar. Among them, 10 per cent needed hospitalisation at least once for life-saving treatment.
