I picked this one up on the flog today.
“It says that low testosterone can lead to diabetes, and vice-versa. If you read it all, you'll see that one doctor in this states that 40% of diabetics have low testosterone.
Thoughts? could therefore treating low testosterone (simple apparently), thus curing that hormone deficiency, help the insulin responses in a diabetic?”
After consulting my old mate Graham aka the tripod, he felt this was more baloney. When last checked out, Graham had the testosterone levels of a prime Aberdeen Angus, so my money is on Graham !

Or does high BG cause low testosterone, long before T2D.
ReplyDeleteFred makes a good point, testostereone appears to be affected by high BG levels, I expect it could be a pointer to those at risk of developing TD2.
