Shockingly, it is predicted that 8 million people in the UK aged 85 and over will have diabetes by 2050. Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause many serious complications, such as nerve damage, kidney failure and vision problems that are capable of leading to blindness. A care home resident with diabetes has an increased likelihood of frailty and multiple co-morbidities.
