Hormonal
Menopause is associated with a substantial decrease in endogenous oestrogen concentrations and alterations in body weight, adipose tissue distribution, and energy expenditure, which can predispose women to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Practitioners should be aware of the increased risk of T2DM in menopausal women due to hormonal changes.
