Family members of diabetic patients collect medication for patients, including cooking and serving meals to them. Wives of diabetic men outpace husbands of diabetic women in responsiveness to the health needs of their partners, respectively. Diabetic men with impaired sexual function get support from their wives, whilst female patients do not get similar support from their husbands. On the other hand, patients who lost income get inadequate spousal support, which compromises diabetes management and adherence to treatment. This study identifies gender disparities in spousal support as crucial issue requiring an urgent attention, hence the need for gender-biased family-centred diabetes care
