Low testosterone (low T) is more common in men who have diabetes and in men who carry excess weight.
In one research study, 30% of overweight men had low T, compared to only 6.4% of those with average weight. The same study found diabetes to be a risk factor for low T. In another study, 24.5% of men with diabetes had low T, compared to 12.6% of those without diabetes.
You may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if you have clinically low or sub-optimal testosterone levels (verified by blood work) and symptoms of low testosterone:
How often have you heard that it’s just a normal part of getting older when you describe symptoms such as loss of sex drive, low motivation, fatigue, or belly fat gain?
The symptoms mentioned above may be relieved with hormone replacement therapy, such as testosterone replacement therapy.
TRT works by bringing your body back to a healthy range for testosterone, which then slowly begins to reverse the symptoms of low T. Once a steady baseline dose of testosterone has been established on TRT, most men notice an improvement in their energy levels, vitality, and quality of life.
You’re likely a good candidate for testosterone replacement therapy if you have low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, trouble concentrating, and other hormone related symptoms. TRT is an effective form of treatment for low testosterone.
Some men develop depression, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and other physical and emotional symptoms attributed to the gradual decline in testosterone levels. This becomes more common when men reach their late 40s to early 50s, a condition called andropause. TRT can help.
