Low testosterone Promotes Diabetes?
A new study says that Diabetes Type 1 has been linked to Low testosterone levels. The study
was limited to men but we suppose that it will apply to women as well.
Almost six hundres men with type 2 diabetes and 69 men with type 1 diabetes were included in the study. Another set of men (262) with type 2 diabetes was then reassessed after six months. Blood samples were studied to check testosterone levels. Many now believe that saliva should be checked for levels of free testosterone.
The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, also confirmed reduced testosterone levels in men with type 2 diabetes.
