Prevalence of Hypogonadism Among Males with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Malaysian Tertiary Hospital:
This study is the first in the Asian region to use stricter criteria for diagnosing hypogonadism. Despite these stringent criteria, the prevalence of hypogonadism remains significantly high among Malaysian T2DM males. It is particularly common in diabetic males over 35 years old with coronary artery disease, regardless of A1c control and the duration of diabetes.
