[Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia : what are the treatment goals for the elderly ?]
Revue Médicale Suisse 2017 November 9
Will my patient actually benefit from the medication that I've prescribed? Faced with an elderly, frail patient, the family doctor is often confronted by this dilemma.

Avoiding hypoglycemia and hypotension, with all of their consequences, must remain the highest priority driving objectives for optimal management of diabetes and hypertension in the geriatric population.
