Welcome to Aging Well with Diabetes

This course is for older adults who live with diabetes. It is also for people who help them, like a spouse, child or friend. Both groups have a part in keeping daily life safe and independent. A caregiver can help without taking over.

Diabetes care is not fixed. The plan that fit you at 60 may need changes at 75 or later.

Your health, routines and needs can shift over time. Safety can matter as much as exact numbers. Ask your care team to review your plan as life changes.

Each lesson stands on its own. Together, they build a fuller picture of aging with diabetes. Each chapter adds a new piece.

Some topics may matter more to you right now than others. Read in order, or start with the topic that matters most to you.

Key takeaways

• Diabetes care can change as life and health change.
• Older adults and caregivers both have a part to play.
• Each lesson works on its own and adds to the bigger picture.
