Dr. Charles Mok presents evidence that low testosterone correlates with higher rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Observational data suggest testosterone replacement may lower these risks, but he cautions that current clinical use should stay limited to symptomatic hypogonadism until major research tests whether it could treat cardiometabolic disease directly.

The evidence supports a major research initiative to explore the possible benefits of testosterone therapy for cardiometabolic disease, including diabetes. Even though we've shown that men with low T have more diabetes, more cardiovascular disease, and that testosterone replacement observationally leads to less diabetes, less cardiovascular disease, there's no evidence to say, well, if a man has diabetes, just go ahead and put him on testosterone really should be based on having symptoms of testosterone replacement therapy. But in this resolution, they're calling for the research to see if you can consider testosterone as a direct treatment for diabetes or cardiovascular disease, along with beta blockers and glycemic control medications.
