Diabetes treatment deintensification in Australians with dementia compared to the general population: A national cohort study.

Background: Diagnosis of dementia may change peoples' goals of care. In people with diabetes, this may lead to relaxing treatment targets and reducing the use of diabetes medications. The aim of this study was to examine changes in diabetes medication use before and after initiating medication for dementia.

Development and validation of the Medication Regimen Simplification Guide for Residential Aged CarE (MRS GRACE).

Background: Residents of aged care facilities use increasingly complex medication regimens. Reducing unnecessary medication regimen complexity (eg, by consolidating the number of administration times or using alternative formulations) may benefit residents and staff.

Objective: To develop and validate an implicit tool to facilitate medication regimen simplification in aged care facilities.
