This study focused on three questions: Is there a difference in men's and women's diabetes attitudes? Do health professionals give different recommendations to men and women? Is there a difference between men and women in care adherence? A total of 1201 patients with diabetes were surveyed; 65% of these patients were women. Differences in diabetes attitudes (three of seven attitudes) were most evident between men and women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). No differences were found in the attitudes of men and women with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) using insulin, and only one attitude was different for patients with NIDDM not using insulin. Few differences were observed in the recommendations given by health professionals to men and women. Gender differences in adherence to the components of self-care also were minimal. These findings may indicate that there are many similarities in the reactions of men and women who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
男性和女性对糖尿病的态度是否存在差异？医疗专业人员对男性和女性给出的建议是否不同？男性和女性在护理依从性方面是否存在差异？总共对1201名糖尿病患者进行了调查；其中65%为女性。在胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）患者中，男性和女性在糖尿病态度（七种态度中的三种）上的差异最为明显。在使用胰岛素的非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（NIDDM）患者中，未发现男性和女性态度存在差异，而在未使用胰岛素的NIDDM患者中，只有一种态度不同。医疗专业人员对男性和女性给出的建议中观察到的差异很少。在自我护理各方面的依从性上，性别差异也很小。这些发现可能表明，被诊断患有糖尿病的男性和女性的反应有许多相似之处。
