(1/1) Research indicates that biological differences play a significant role in the later diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes in women compared to men. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly those related to menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. These variations may lead to symptoms being overlooked or misattributed, delaying proper diagnosis and treatment in women. Social factors also contribute to the disparity in diabetes diagnoses. Women often face additional barriers to healthcare access, including socioeconomic challenges and cultural expectations that prioritize family care over personal health. This can result in a lack of awareness about the risk factors for diabetes, leading to delayed medical attention and worse health outcomes. Addressing these issues requires a multifaceted approach that considers both biological and social factors. Increased awareness, targeted screening programs, and tailored educational efforts can help bridge the diagnosis gap and improve health outcomes for women with Type 2 diabetes. #DiabetesAwareness #WomenHealth #Type2Diabetes #HealthcareEquity #PublicHealth
