The association between type 2 diabetes and male UUI in our present study is consistent with previous studies linking UUI with markers of poor glycaemic control, including diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus 35, higher glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes 36, raised serum insulin, and increased homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) 20. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
