Editorial : Sex and Gender Aspects in Diabetes

• Sex differences affect every cell and living organism. Gender impacts all our behaviors, choices, and perceptions as human beings. Both factors, the biological and the psycho-social, are essential mechanisms that shape our interaction with the health care system. They influence access to healthcare, diagnostic paths, therapeutic choices, and long term outcomes. Although the scientific knowledge is constantly increasing, the inclusion of sex and gender in clinical practice and medical research is still limited (1).
