One-quarter of American adults over 65 have diabetes. And older African-Americans and Latinos bear the greatest burden of this epidemic. Writing in the journal American Society on Aging, program director Manel Kappagoda and staff attorney Derek Carr argue that diabetes self-management education and training (DSME/T) is an excellent strategy for improving health outcomes among older adults.
