Australian researchers of the University of Melbourne said that low testosterone levels are common in men with type 1 diabetes.
As testosterone deficiency may contribute to impaired performance, mood, and libido, as well as have adverse impact on cardiovascular risk, these findings demonstrate the presence of a significant and unrecognized problem among men with diabetes.
The researchers caution that the benefits and risks of using testosterone replacement therapy to try to reduce insulin resistance or the symptoms of hypogonadism are currently unknown and still to be defined by large, long-term clinical trials.
The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, also confirmed reduced testosterone levels in men with type 2 diabetes.
