Core Tip In frail older adults with type 2 diabetes, lower glycated haemoglobin levels may paradoxically be associated with increased mortality, reflecting overtreatment, hypoglycemia, and underlying physiological decline. Frailty is a key modifier of risk and should guide glycemic targets, particularly in the inpatient setting. Routine frailty assessment, individualized treatment goals, and deprescribing of high-risk therapies are essential. A shift from rigid glycemic control to a safety-focused, patient-centered approach is crucial to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
