Can TRT actually help with Type 2 Diabetes and insulin resistance?
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year and my latest bloodwork also showed my total testosterone is sitting at 240 ng/dL. I've been struggling to keep my blood sugar stable despite a clean diet and regular lifting. Has anyone here seen their insulin sensitivity actually improve after starting TRT?
Research consistently shows that testosterone replacement therapy can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in men with type 2 diabetes and low T. By increasing lean muscle mass and reducing visceral fat, TRT helps the body process glucose more efficiently, often leading to a reduction in HbA1c levels.
