There is no such thing as diabetes being passed on to women but not to men. Diabetes is the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors, of which the homozygosity rate of type 1 diabetes in identical twins is 30% to 40%, and the homozygosity rate of type 2 diabetes in identical twins is 100%. Moreover, diabetes mellitus is not a sex chromosome genetic disease, but a multigene disease. Therefore, there is no such thing as the transmission of diabetes to women but not to men. In addition to this, the development of type 2 diabetes is also affected by aging, over-nutrition, poor lifestyle, intrauterine environment, and physical inactivity. Regular blood glucose monitoring is recommended for those who are at risk of developing diabetes, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet in daily life can help prevent the development of diabetes.
