The Diabetes Conspiracy:What You Need to Know

• As men grow older, their levels of the essential androgen hormone testosterone decline dramatically. This phenomenon has been termed andropause, or the male equivalent of menopause.

• Decreasing testosterone levels have been linked to age-related health ailments such as erectile dysfunction, muscle wasting, and, perhaps most notably of all, diabetes.

• Restoring youthful levels of testosterone may help avert diabetes, helping aging men decrease their reliance on diabetes medications. Clinical experience
shows that testosterone therapy helps improve blood sugar control, boost energy levels, support sexual health, promote wound healing, and restore a more youthful appearance.

• Many people, even leading doctors, are unaware of testosterone’s many benefits. Not only is testosterone effective in offsetting age-related changes, it is also inexpensive and safe. Drug company profits would plummet if testosterone therapy was more widely used to treat aging men.

• All men over the age of 35 should have their levels of testosterone—along with blood lipids, glucose, and prostate-specific antigen—tested to assess their overall well-being and to determine whether they may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy.
