NHP Seminar: Resetting the DIAL on diabetes management in long-term care homes
Older adults with diabetes and frailty living in Ontario’s long-term (LTC) care homes are often treated counter to recommendations from evidence-based guidelines, increasing their risk for adverse outcomes. The DIAL study team is working to ‘reset the dial’ on diabetes treatment for older adults living in LTC homes.
This presentation will discuss current diabetes management practices in LTC homes and the experiences of care teams, residents, and caregivers. Together, this information will be used to co-design an intervention to optimize diabetes care.
