Generally speaking males vs females. Would you say that females have a better diet than men?
Men tend to eat more, so when they eat bad food they are more likely to eat more bad food. Eating marathons are all males. Etc.
3. Provide an alternative theory for the observed gender difference in rates of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus.
The proposed theory was that men are less likely than females to go to doctors. I was going to have my alternative theory be the above.
On top of that, men tend to have a "tough exterior" where they tend to ignore things wrong with them assuming "it will get better"
Besides men being less likely to see doctors I think that men tend to propose a “tough exterior” where if something goes wrong we are more likely to ignore it with the idea that “it will get better”. To add, men tend to take in more calories than females. So when comparing a male and female with poor diets the male will be taking in more bad foods and predispose them to diabetes.
^ was my exact answer
Not necessarily, females just eat more foods like salads, fruits, and food with more fiber.
Men being less likely to go to doctors? That's absurd, chronic symptoms usually prompt either sex regardless of going to the doctor.
