The increased risk of CVD associated with longer duration of diabetes is similar in women and men, and thus cannot explain the higher excess risk from diabetes in women in this study population (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Does Gender Influence the Effectiveness and Safety of Insulin Glargine 300 U/ml in Patients with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes? Results from the REALI European Pooled Analysis
Despite some gender differences in baseline characteristics, Gla-300 treatment improved glycaemic control, with overall low hypoglycaemia incidences in both men and women. However, women had statistically significantly lower HbA1c reductions than men, although these differences were clinically modest (Diabetes Therapy)
Sex differences in the association of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with microvascular complications and function: The Maastricht Study
Our findings show that women with type 2 diabetes are not disproportionately affected by early microvascular complications (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Gender differences in the evaluation of care for patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study (ZODIAC-52)
Only a few factors were found to be associated with patients’ evaluation of care for men and women with T2D. Taken together, these factors explained only a small part of the variance of the EUROPEP scores. This explained variance was largely attributable to the location where the questionnaire was completed (BMC Health Services Research)
Sex-specific differences in insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes: The CACTI cohort
We found that type 1 diabetes affected adipose and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity to a greater extent in women than in men, perhaps contributing to the greater relative increase in cardiovascular risk in women with type 1 diabetes (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
