Introduction: Obesity and hypogonadism (HG) are two conditions frequently observed in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The complex relationship between obesity and hormonal imbalances, particularly hypogonadism, remains a key area of interest in understanding the overall health profile of men with T2D.Methods: In this cross-sectional study involving 250 men with T2D undergoing diabetes consultations, comprehensive clinical examinations were carried out...

Introduction: Several studies have evaluated the prevalence and impact of metformin induced vitamin B12 deficiency in type 2 diabetes patients. On the other hand, low vit B12 was associated with adverse lipid profile.Aim: To evaluate the relationship between vitamin B12 deficiency and the lipid profile in patients with neuropathy.Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study included 123 type 2 diabetic patients treated with metfor...

Introduction: Hypogonadism (HG), a condition characterized by insufficient testosterone levels, is a prevalent concern in men with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Simultaneously, the use of statins and the presence of dyslipidemia are common aspects of the medical management of individuals with T2D. This study investigates the intricate relationship between HG, statin therapy, and dyslipidemia in men with T2D, aiming to unravel potential correlations and shed light on the complex healt...

Introduction: Male hypogonadism (HG), characterized by a decrease in testosterone levels, becomes more prevalent with age, significantly impacting the quality of life. A noteworthy association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increasingly captured medical interest. The critical question persists: is the HG observed in T2D patients of central or peripheral origin? This study delves into this inquiry to enhance our understanding and inform better management....

Introduction: The association between male hypogonadism (HG) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a growing focus in medical research. However, a major challenge stems from the lack of consensus in defining HG, leading to variations in diagnostic thresholds among different medical societies. This study addresses this challenge by proposing a new perspective on the classification and thresholds of HG.Methods: The research focused on a group of 250 adult m...

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a widespread metabolic disorder associated with chronic complications. Few studies have explored the relation between chronic complications in type 2 diabetic males presenting an hypogonadism (HG). Understanding how T2D, its complications, and HG are connected is crucial for overall health. This study aims to explore these links in simpler terms.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study t...

Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends a daily salt intake of no more than 5 grams per day to prevent complications associated with excessive sodium intake. The aim of our study was to screen type 2 diabetic patients for excessive salt consumption using the Exsel Test.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 106 type 2 diabetic patients which took place in department A of the National Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology ...
