A new study involving nearly 29,000 patients established that the complications of type 2 diabetes manifest differently depending on gender. It was found that men are more likely to develop heart and kidney diseases, while for women, mental health issues pose a more serious threat.
According to the study data, women with diabetes show an increased risk of developing problems related to memory, cognition, and overall mental health. Furthermore, men may develop diabetes at a younger age.
Additionally, it was revealed that women with diabetes lose the natural protection against heart disease that is usually present before menopause.
