Summary

This study reveals significant differences in diabetes mellitus (DM) clinical course and complications between men and women. Women with type 1 DM experience poorer compensation, while both sexes show distinct risks for hypertension and nephropathy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Diabetology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) presents unique challenges in its management and progression.
  • Understanding sex-based differences in DM is crucial for targeted clinical practice and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate epidemiological and clinical variations in diabetes mellitus (DM) between female and male patients.
  • To analyze differences in DM complications and disease course based on sex.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of existing studies on DM epidemiology and clinical course.
  • Inclusion of data from the Prague register of diabetic patients.
  • Evaluation of DM complications stratified by sex.

Main Results:

  • Type 1 DM shows poorer glycemic control in women, particularly during menstruation and menopause.
  • Young women with DM exhibit higher mortality from diabetic nephropathy compared to men.
  • Women have a higher incidence of hypertension at all ages and a greater prevalence of type 2 DM after 65.
  • Ischemia of lower extremities is less frequent in women.

Conclusions:

  • Sex significantly influences the clinical presentation, complications, and epidemiological patterns of diabetes mellitus (DM).
  • Specific physiological stages (menstruation, menopause) exacerbate DM control issues in women.
  • Targeted interventions considering sex-specific risks are warranted for improved DM management.
