Younger men have higher risk for mortality and cardiovascular disease for type 2 diabetes than type 1 diabetes; whereas for women type 1 diabetes outcomes are worse at all ages

A new study found that younger men with type 2 diabetes are more likely to experience worse cardiovascular disease and mortality outcomes compared to those with type 1 diabetes. In contrast, women with type 1 diabetes face poorer health outcomes across all ages, particularly due to longer exposure to high blood sugar levels and less ag...
