N2 - This review discusses a number of different issues relating to the development and evaluation of interventions for the diabetes care of older people. The review draws on the experience of a pilot study examining a new model of care for older frail people with type 2 diabetes, which comprised a specially developed clinical protocol to support district nurses in carrying out a diabetic annual review for the 'older housebound'. The review examines the difficulties encountered in conducting research with this vulnerable subset of the population of people with diabetes and suggests how they may be overcome. Particular attention is directed at clarifying the research population, the validity of the proposed intervention, alternative approaches to the care of the older population with diabetes, sample selection and recruitment, and outcome measures.
