Summary

336 968 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were registered in Slovakia in 2019, almost 151 000 were older than 65 years. Suitable antidiabetic drug for older patient should be: cardiovascular safe (protective), associated with low risk of hypoglycaemia, renal safe (protective), oncologic safe, should have simple method of administration and anticipating general safety profile. Important is also possibility in its using in more serious renal dysfunctions, combination with other drugs, weight neutrality. Metformin is first line therapy also in older patients with T2DM unless contraindicated or presence of side effects. DPP-4 inhibitors are good and safe option for the therapy of older patients with type 2 diabetes. Using of SU derivatives or thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone) is not optimal in older patients with type 2 diabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors and agonists of GLP-1 receptors are recommended also in older type 2 diabetics, of course with specifications in their using for that age. Many older patients with type T2DM need treatment with insulin.
