"This 2009 TuD discussion contains some interesting comments on low testosterone and diabetes. A 2008 Australian study found that "testosterone deficiency is common in men with diabetes, regardless of the type.""

Low Testosterone & Pulling Teeth to Get Treatment

I have seriously low testosterone levels, well below normal. Why is it so difficult to get medical doctors to understand the difficulties of living with diabetes. Add to this extremely low testosterone levels which impact my mental well being, I am at my wits end.I would suggest that all males with diabetes get tested for low testosterone. It should be standard procedure.Have any other men here had trouble with low testosterone? What did you do?thanks!See More
