In several cases, the rates of growth were dramatically higher among girls than boys. While boys still take more medications for chronic conditions, the gap has become narrower due to these increases. The huge increase in type 2 diabetes medication use was driven largely by girls who saw a 14...
Of the 12 studies looking at gender differences and clearly comparing male and female individuals with T1D, most (n = 11) showed that girls/women had significantly higher rates of body image dissatisfaction and body weight and shape concerns than boys/men (e.g., Araia et al.,2017,2020...
Results: Shape and Weight concern showed significantly higher scores than those observed in the other two subscales (p=0.021). Average scores of each subscale resulted significantly higher in girls than in boys as well as in teen than in pre-teen participants. Objective binge eating (20%) and...

The treatment goals include a fasting plasma glucose level of < 8.9 mm/L (160 mg/dL), a random plasma glucose level of < 11.1 mm/L (200 mg/dL), and HbA1c ≤ 8% for the prevention of hyperglycemia-related symptoms and complications including infection, osmotic diuresis, and hypercoagul...
However, it is concerning that a portion of the adolescents with T1D reported skipping insulin (10.3% of girls and 1.4% of boys) or taking less insulin than recommended (7.4% of girls and 1.4% of boys) in the past year as a means of weight control. These studies did not demonstrate ...
However, symptoms and complications of T1D can be reduced by intensive interventions including diet, physical activity, and drug therapy [1]. Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age but is most common between birth and 14 years [3]. Globally, there is a steady increase in incidence rate, ...
