Diabetes and testosteroneIn a recent study, it was found that diabetic men over 45 have more than twice the risk of having hypogonadism (in men, reduced or absent secretion of testosterone). The study included 474 diabetic men from a screening of over 2,000. This is the largest study to date. Previous studies in this area have been much smaller, with 19, 163, 227 subjects. Over half the diabetic men in the study with low testosterone reported a decreased ability to perform sexually. It should be noted that testosterone is important to general health and not only related to sexual drive or ability.

Perhaps it belongs under some other topic but it didn't seem right to pick either Diabetes or Testosterone. Hopefully, somone with greater knowledge in this area can pick up this stub and take it somewhere useful. --User:Interesdom 16:09, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) See other meanings of words starting from letter: DDA | DB | DC | DE | DF | DG | DH | DI | DJ | DK | DL | DM | DN | DO | DP | DR | DS | DT | DU | DW | DX | DY | DZ |Words begining with Diabetes_and_testosterone: Diabetes_and_testosterone Diabetes_and_testosterone
