even though family history is an indicator, i'm the only confirmed case, biologically in my family, to have diabetes, so watch for any of the indicators and discuss it with your dr., i put it off for my reasons way to long and have done non reversable damage that could have been long delayed by proper care.

My understanding, from reading and talks with endocrinologists, is that testosterone has an influence on blood sugar levels. In my personal experience my blood sugar levels climb to unsatisfactory heights when I am without testosterone and when I have even low doses of testosterone my blood levels return to nearly normal. I have been told that this is to be expected. I have not concluded that lack of testosterone will cause diabetes but that low or absent testosterone will cause blood sugar to elevate in the presence of any defect in a body's handling of sugars. --FLO--
