The distribution of age, random glucose, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), ALR2 activity and sorbitol levels between male and females in nondiabetic control, diabetes without retinopathy (DNR) and diabetes with retinopathy (DR) groups. The data (mean ± standard deviation (SD)) indicate no significant difference between the genders. (n=number).
