Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy improves insulin, glycemic control, visceral adiposity and hypercholesterolemia in hypogonadal men with type 2 diabetes

Testosterone therapy improved fasting insulin sensitivity.

Testosterone treatment resulted in a reduction in visceral adiposity as assessed by waist circumference.

Total cholesterol decreased with testosterone therapy.

Testosterone replacement therapy reduces insulin resistance and improves glycemic control in hypogonadal men with Type 2 diabetes.

Improvement in glycemic control, insulin resistance, cholesterol and visceral adiposity together represent an overall reduction in cardiovascular risk.
