Abstract：Sarcopenia,an age related disease characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function,is consid-ered an emerging complication in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).T2DM accelerates the loss of muscle mass and function,while sarcopenia can lead to disrupted glucose metabolism,reduced physical activity,and an increased risk of diabetes.However,the specific mechanisms involved between T2DM and sarcopenia have not been thoroughly in-vestigated.Therefore,this review aims to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment strategies associated with sarcopenia and diabetes in order to improve the quality of life and reduce the occurrence of related complications in elderly people with diabetes.
