What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative integrated care in pre-frail or frail patients with diabetes over 65 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To establish innovative integrated care for frail elderly patients with diabetes combined with nutrition and lifestyle guidance. * To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention compared with general outpatient care. Participants will receive 12 weeks of structured care including specialist care, integrated assessment, group health education, one-on-one nutrition and lifestyle guidance, online and face-to-face support group, and case management. Researchers will compare general outpatient care to see its effects on frailty, physical function, and blood sugar control.
