Abstract
#Diabetes is a significant chronic disease, 424.9 million people
worldwide are estimated to have diabetes in 2017,and this number
is expected to increase to 628.6 million by 2045[1]. More and more
patients with diabetes areaffected by other comorbidities, in fact,
more than 40% of diabetic people have 3 or more comorbidities [2].
Another important aspect is that, as population ageing, health needs
tend to become more complex, #multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of
multiple diseases in the same patient, represents the mostrelevant
featureamong older adults, with a prevalence from 55% to 98% [3].
Inevitably, the coexistence of chronic diseases isoften accompanied
by #polypharmacy (daily intake of five or more drugs), that could
createa frailty condition,poor adherence to #therapies, unknown
Diabetes Quality of life (DDI) and inappropriatehospital admission,
withsignificant implications on economic resources [4,5].
