Obesity and lack of physical exercise
What is the relationship between diabetes and physiologic aging?
Diabetes accelerates physiologic aging
Which type of diabetes is associated with an accelerated aging rate of 1.75 years physiologically for every chronologic year of the disease with poor control of blood glucose?
Type 1 diabetes
What is the approximate physiologic aging rate for a patient with type 2 diabetes with tight control of blood glucose and blood pressure?

What are the associated risks for a diabetic patient in terms of physiologic age?
Considerably older than their calendar age
What are the key factors to managing blood glucose levels perioperatively in diabetic patients?
Setting clear goals and monitoring blood glucose levels frequently
What can reduce the accelerated aging associated with type 2 diabetes and possibly delay the appearance of the disease?
Reduction in weight
