Introduction: Low testosterone serum levels are associated with increased mortality in non-diabetic males. However, knowledge about the association between male hypogonadism and mortality among type 2 diabetic (T2DM) men is limited due to short follow-up periods in the few existing studies.Objective: To assess the association between hypogonadism and mortality in diabetic men.Material and methods: 263 unselected men with T2DM (mean...

Aim: Bariatric surgery (BS) modifies body composition. The aim of the study was to establish the first step toward the introduction of the ultrasound (US) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in the evaluation of body composition before and after BS. In addition, as obesity was shown to be related to global cognitive decline, we aim to determine possible changes in cognitive test before and after BS.Material and Methods: a prospective pilot study o...

Objective: SGLT2 inhibitors, have been shown to improve glycaemic control, stabilize insulin dosing and mitigate insulin-associated weight gain in patients whose type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was inadequately controlled. The objective is to evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of adding iSGLT-2 therapy in inadequately controlled patients with oral antidiabetic drugs and with or without insulin therapy.Materials and methods: This observational st...
