Abstract
Androgen deficiency in the aging male has become a topic of increasing interest both healthy men and with various endocrinology diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. The low level of testosterone in obese men is reason of insulin resistance which leads to the type 2 diabetes mellitus. Many reports have shown that testosterone replacement therapy leads to improvement of parameters of a metabolic syndrome. Investigation and treatment androgen deficiency allow not only prevent diabetes type 2, but also have a good control of diabetes. In our work we have shown that testosterone gel is an effective preparation for androgen replacement therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, allowing not only to restore normal level of testosterone but also to control of weight, lipids, insulin resistance and bone mineral density.
