ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES IN TOTAL TESTOSTERONE LEVELS IN THE TREATMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Testosterone is a sex hormone that regulates a number of processes in the human body, including fertility, sex drive, bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, and red blood cell production. Testosterone levels typically decrease as you age, but for some people, these levels can become too low and cause unwanted symptoms. Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to process blood glucose, also known as blood sugar.  While a link between low testosterone and diabetes isn’t immediately obvious, researchers have discovered that the two are connected.
