Gebeyaw et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Poor glycemic control (AOR 4.7, 95% CI 1.14-19.42). Female patients with type 2 diabetes experienced significantly worse glycemic control (AOR 4.7; 95% CI 1.14-19.42), with no significant gender differences in chronic complications.
