Low Testosterone Increases Risk of Death in Some Men

April 2011 - British Researchers at the University of Sheffield say that low levels of the male hormone testosterone could significantly increase the risk of premature death in men with type 2 diabetes. Their findings were presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Endocrinology and have prompted several follow-up studies. Researchers examined 587 men who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The men were then divided into three different groups. The first group had normal levels of testosterone; the second group of men suffered from a testosterone deficiency and underwent testosterone therapy, and the third group of men - who were also testosterone deficient - were left untreated.

The researchers found that the men who went untreated for testosterone deficiency were more than twice as likely to die, when compared to the men with normal levels of testosterone. It's common for men with type 2 diabetes to have low levels of testosterone. This is very important information that could potentially save countless lives.
