Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the level of testosterone in Sudanese
diabetic men and its association with obesity.

Research Design and Methods:  A cross-sectional study conducted on 300 males with
type 2 diabetes mellitus aged > 40 years and 100 healthy volunteers in the same age as a
control. Total testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone, the luteinizing hormone was measured.
Height and weight were measured then the BMI was calculated.

Results: A Significant proportion of diabetic men showed low levels of serum testosterone,
where 79% had a testosterone level less than 300 ng/dL (10.4 nmol/L). Testosterone
showed a highly significant inverse relationship with BMI (body mass index).
Conclusion: Low serum testosterone levels are common in Sudanese males with type2
diabetes mellitus. Obesity is associated with low testosterone levels in those diabetic males.

Keywords: Type-2 diabetes mellitus, Testosterone, Obesity, BMI
