Brief Summary
Many type 2 diabetic men have low serum testosterone levels. Our aim in this trial is to check if there is a correlation between serum or hair testosteron levels and serum or hair cortisol levels in type 2 diabetic men. We'll also examine whether there is a correlation between serum and hair testosterone levels and cortisol levels and serum inflammatory markers. If such correlation will be found- then it is possible that excess cortisol or an abnormal inflammatory status- may cause the low testosterone levels that seen in type 2 diabetic men.
