    AbstractWomen and men with T2DM share many of the same risks and challenges in managing their disease, yet there are important differences between the genders that have been highlighted in this article. Understanding and applying the knowledge of these differences in clinical practice is essential to assist women with T2DM so as to improve their diabetes self-management, function, quality of life, and clinical outcomes. Of course, as with men, prevention of diabetes remains an important management objective.
