Determinants different male female patients, where role task-specific predicted monitoring (RR = 0.98; P < 0.001) management (RR = 0.99; among males, while persistence maintenance (RR = 0.97; P = 0.016) P = 0.009) females. Males females differently perform self-care. plays predicting males Future research should longitudinally its T2DM. Sex-specific interventions be developed improve patients
