She has been diabetic for 30 years. Her diabetic disease was well advances too. The ulcer on the bottom of her foot would not heal. But because her disease was so advanced, she was unable to prevent further amputation. Her blood sugars remained well controlled through surgery and afterwards on testosterone.
Testosterone works to improve circulation in both men and women.
In our practice, we have treated individuals who enter using upwards of 100 units of insulin daily. But testosterone does not work for everyone. We only suggest that diabetic individuals with mild, moderate or severe disease consider testosterone for inclusion in their diabetic program. Strong diabetic control, that is low insulin and stable blood sugars, is most important in avoiding the terrible complications and end-stage processes of diabetes. Our lectures have been focused on education for the physicians and public to the need for tight insulin control.
