Evaluation of Serum Testosterone Level in Men with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

(82.80 ± 38.09 vs. 93.77 ± 26.7µg/dL; P = 0.043) were significantly reduced in the diabetic patients with low testosterone level (187.42 ± 145.01 vs.406.91 ± 135.55 ng/dL; P = 0.0001). In contrast, serum ferritin level was more in diabetic group (P = 0.0023). Conclusion: Reduced testosterone level can be used to determine insulin resistance and anemia and therefore can be further assessed for its establishment as a marker for the same.
