Introduction: Several data suggest that male hypogonadism occurs frequently in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but underlying pathophysiological mechanism remains partially unknown. In order to investigate the short term effect of hyperglycaemic state on hypothalamicpituitarygonadal axis we prospectively studied 18 men with T2DM younger than 55 years at the time of first diagnosis of T2DM. We compared men with HbA1c≥9.0% with men with HbA1c≤9.0...

Introduction: The efficacy of self monitoring of blood glucose (SBMG) on glycaemic control in non-insulin-treated (NIT) type-2-diabetes-mellitus (T2DM) is still controversial. In this paper we evaluated the influence of SMBG on glycaemic control in patients with T2DM with poor glycaemic control treated with oral antidiabetic agents.Methods: Thirty NIT-T2DM patients with poor glycaemic control and HbA1c>7% under treatment with oral hypoglycaemic agent...
