Type II Diabetes


                  Diabetes Study 1
                      Diabetes Care   2004
                          Low testosterone predicts the development of diabetes.

                  Diabetes Study 2
                      Journal Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.   2005
                          High testosterone levels are associated with a reduced risk of the metabolic syndrome (diabetes).

                  Diabetes Study 3
                      Johns Hopkins University   2006
                          Eliminating testosterone (in men with prostate cancer) predisposes them to diabetes and heart disease.

                  Diabetes Study 4
                      European Journal of Endocrinology   2006
                          Testosterone replacement therapy improves type II diabetes and reduces the risk of heart disease.

                  Diabetes Study 5
                      Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health   February, 2007
                          Low testosterone levels may be a risk factor for diabetes.

                  Diabetes Study 6
                      The Prostate Centre   London, U.K.   2007
                          Low testosterone levels as a contributing cause of diabetes and heart disease is underdiagnosed.

                  Diabetes Study 7   (Posted   4/11/07)
                      University of Arizona   2007
                          In female mice diabetes and diabetic kidney disease are made worse by the removal of testosterone and estrogen.

                  Diabetes Study 8   (NEW   Posted   3/09/08)
                      Beth Israel Hospital, Boston   November, 2007
                          Low testosterone has become an indicator of diabetes, and replacement of testosterone may improve diabetes.

                  Diabetes Study 9   (NEW   Posted   3/09/08)
                      Johns Hopkins School of Medicine   June, 2007
                          Testosterone replacement has a promising role in the treatment of diabetes.
