Wisest Elder Ever

Here are two very important medical papers. They reflect new criteria for the elderly or aging population (>50) on the diagnosis and treatment for type II diabetes:
1) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2551641/ 2)http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3401566/ Using A1C values instead of the fasting glucose and GTT... may be safer and prevent overmedication of aging patients, who may be a risk for LOW blood sugar readings.
