More than a third of men with type 2 diabetes tested for hypogonadism in general practice have at least borderline testosterone deficiency, with levels of the hormone particularly low among men with higher BMIs, a new UK study reports.

The researchers claimed their findings showed there was ?manifestly a subset of men with type 2 diabetes and androgen deficiency' and suggested GPs should test for hypogonadism in all men with low libido or low energy.
