Objective To carry out research on elderly patients with diabetes, summarize clinical psychological nursing strategies, and observe the improvement effect on patients' negative emotions. Methods The elderly patients with diabetes admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were included in this study (100 cases). The study was carried out after the voluntary consent of the patients and the approval of the Ethics Committee. The patients were randomly divided into groups in the form of computer sampling. Those included in the reference group received routine care (50 cases in total), and those included in the study group strengthened psychological care (50 cases in total). The nursing effect was observed, and the data of patients' negative emotions and blood glucose indicators were recorded and compared. Statistical tools were used to compare and analyze the data obtained, and observe the effectiveness and value of the nursing program. Results The SAS and SDS scoring records showed no significant difference in pre nursing scores between the two groups (P>0.05), while the post nursing scores of the study group were lower than those of the reference group (P<0.05); The levels of FPG, 2hPG, and HbA1c were recorded, and there was no significant difference in the levels between the two groups before nursing (P>0.05). After nursing, the study group was at a lower level compared to the reference group (P<0.05); Conclusion Strengthening psychological care for elderly patients with diabetes can effectively alleviate their negative emotions, help control blood sugar levels, promote the improvement of patients' quality of life, and improve nursing satisfaction.
