NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - About one third of young adult men with
type 2 diabetes have low testosterone levels, research shows.

The potential implications for men, in terms of their sexual and
reproductive function during prime reproductive years, are "profound,"
warn Dr. Paresh Dandona and colleagues from the State University of
New York at Buffalo in the journal Diabetes Care.

The researchers measured circulating levels of testosterone in 24 type
2 diabetic men and 38 type 1 diabetic men. All of the men were between
18 and 35 years old.

They found that testosterone levels were significantly lower in type 2
diabetics than in type 1 diabetics.

Specifically, 33 percent of the type 2 diabetics had testosterone
levels that were below normal and 58 percent had testosterone levels
below normal for their age.
