Testosterone is the male’s sex hormone responsible for regulating the normal functioning of all the sexual organs. This hormone is also believed to be responsible for enhancing the muscle strength, bone strength and uplifting the energy stock in the body. Besides the declined sexuality, there are proper evidences to establish that the low levels in testosterone are also associated with type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Studies have well proven time and again that low levels of testosterone are reported among at least 1/3rd of people suffering from type 2 diabetes. It has also been established that men over the age of 45 are twice more susceptible to this disease in comparison to young men.

Testosterone enhances the body system’s response towards insulin. Therefore, it is quite likely that men or women with inadequate presence of testosterone can stimulate a poor response towards insulin which triggers the progression of diabetes 2. Further, it is known that testosterone is produced by the testes in response to the release of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland.  The occurrence of diabetes affects the health of pituitary glands and dissuades them from producing testosterone as well as luteinizing hormones.
