When I started looking into my hormone problems I remember reading that low testosterone can lead to loss of bone mass, loss of muscle mass, loss of libido, diabetes… just about anything that can go wrong with a man – but I’ll be darned if I can find the notes or source I had that mentioned diabetes.
In any case, I ran across this at The Taylorsville Times:
Research has shown that men suffering from diabetes may be at increased risk for a condition called hypogonadism, more commonly known as low testosterone. This is because men with diabetes have lower levels of testosterone than those without diabetes.
. . . . .
"Studies have shown that men with diabetes are twice as likely to have low testosterone as men without diabetes," says Dr. Helena Rodbard, past-president of the American College of Endocrinology (ACE), and past-president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). "It is vitally important for men with diabetes to visit their doctors to discuss the condition and potential risk factors."
I’d be interested in finding out what came first, lot T or diabetes. Or maybe either one can lead to the other. I don’t know. (I’m no doctor or medical professional in any way shape or form. And, as Yosemite Sam would say, dooooon’t you forget it.)
