 | | |  Diabetes in Men versus Women Diabetes, especially type 2, is more common in males rather than females. However, females often have more serious complications and a greater risk of death. | |

| | | | |  Depression in type-1 diabetes patients is associated with higher levels of the inflammatory protein galectin-3, according to research published in Endocrine Connections. | | | | |  Risk factors for type 1 diabetes include infection and autoimmunity, whereas type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity and obesity-related disorders. | | | | |  Diabetes in pregnant women can have serious health consequences for both mother and baby, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified four target areas in which increased surveillance, screening, and preventive care can improve maternal and infant health. | | | | |  New guidance has been published on managing diabetes in the elderly, including for the first time how to manage treatment for the particularly frail. | | | | |  A study published in the journal Acta Diabetologica reports that people with diabetes and prediabetes who have lower sleep efficiency – a measure of how much time in bed is actually spent sleeping – have poorer cognitive function than those with better sleep efficiency. | | | | |  Infants with diabetes can drop insulin syringes. This will be new clinical practice after a recent study, now published in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers from Bergen and Exeter have been leading the work, which causes children worldwide to replace insulin syringes with tablets. | |
