Abstract:
Patients in varying degrees of diabetic ketoacidosis had low serum testosterone levels which rose following recovery (5.4 +/- 1.3----13.7 +/- 1.7 nmol/l, p less than 0.02, mean +/- SE). Blood glucose control of 30 non-ketotic diabetic men (15 insulin-dependent and 15 non-insulin-dependent) did not correlate significantly with serum testosterone concentrations. Although previous authors had suggested that the adrenal androgen status of diabetic patients might be abnormal, adrenal androgens androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) were similar in our 30 men to age-matched healthy men.
