Seniors who suffer from type 1 diabetes appear to have trouble avoiding low blood sugar. In this study, researchers monitored 203 type 1 diabetics over the age of 60 and observed that participants spent an average of 72 minutes a day with blood sugar levels of less than 70 mg/dL and 24 minutes a day at less than 54 mg/dL.
