I wonder whether they were commenting in respect of maturity and independence.
I would probably argue that girls become more independent sooner than boys, and thus could take control of their diabetes sooner.
On the other hand, I disagree.
Body image is potentially more important to girls. Diabulimia, hormone changes affecting glucose levels, pregnancy. Yea... I'd say it's harder for girls.
Not that it's easy for us blokes either... Just perhaps not as difficult.
