        abstract = {Background:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is commonly associated with hypogonadism. However, the effect of glycemic control on serum testosterone levels remains inadequately studied.
Objectives:To compare serum total testosterone (TT) levels in controlled versus uncontrolled male T2DM patients and evaluate the prevalence of androgen deficiency.
Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 male T2DM patients aged 35–70 years. Fifty patients with HbA1c <7% were categorized as controlled and 50 with HbA1c >7% as uncontrolled. Serum TT was measured using chemiluminescence immunoassay. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v20.
Results:Controlled diabetics had significantly higher mean TT levels across all age groups (p<0.0001). Androgen deficiency (TT <300 ng/dL) was present in 48% of uncontrolled vs 16% of controlled diabetics.
Conclusion:Good glycemic control is associated with significantly higher testosterone levels. Screening for hypogonadism in uncontrolled T2DM may improve patient outcomes.},
