Men with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing major health effects compared to women, regardless of the duration of their diagnosis. A study found that rates of cardiovascular disease, foot, leg, kidney complications, and diabetic retinopathy are all higher in men. The researchers analyzed data from over 25,000 people with diabetes and found that men were more likely to experience these complications compared to women. Factors such as lifestyle choices and preventive measures may contribute to this difference. The study highlights the need for targeted screening and prevention strategies for both men and women with diabetes to reduce the risk of complications.
