@Kyambala I was not offended as a woman, I was shocked you believe there is enough of a difference in a typical man's or woman's lifestyle to impact their diabetes management.
In my work, family and social circles, gender makes absolutely no difference.
I wondered if your observations are made in a different country or perhaps a different generation but I am sad for both men and women in your world if the difference between them is so pronounced. I love being treated as a homeowner, engineer, sportsperson, redhead, ... without any thought being made to the fact I am a woman.
I apologise to the other readers of this thread for derailing.
