Type 1 diabetes: Women more likely to die

[Northerner]

Women with type 1 diabetes face a greater risk of dying from a range of diseases compared with men with the same condition, research suggests.

This is particularly the case when it comes to heart disease, Australian scientists report.

They say their findings could have "profound implications" for how women with the condition are treated.

Charities warn that the study highlights a failure of care that needs to be changed urgently.

"With the right care and support in place there is no reason why people with type 1 diabetes - both men and women - can't live long, healthy lives."
