Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes

According to findings by Paresh Dandona, MD, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of medicine and chief of endocrinology, Type 2 diabetic men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism had a significant 25 percent increase in insulin sensitivity after taking testosterone injections for six months.

Paresh Dandona, MD, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of medicine and chief of endocrinology, says the drug Dulaglutide has properties of reducing blood glucose concentrations, suppressing appetite and causing weight loss. “We’d like to see more data on whether this drug also causes blood pressure fall,” he says. 

Manav Batra, MBBS, clinical assistant professor of medicine, says his research shows — for the first time — that men with type 2 diabetes and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism are more insulin resistant as compared to men who have normal testosterone.

Paresh Dandona, MD, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of medicine and chief of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, cites growing evidence that suggests liraglutide, already used for Type 2 diabetes, may aid weight loss.
