Mean serum free testosterone in diabetics was 3.2 ± 0.78 and in non diabetics was 6.2 ± 3. Mean serum FSH level in diabetics was 4.3 ± 1.2 and in non diabetics was 9 ± 1.8. Mean serum LH level in diabetics was 6.4 ± 2.1 and in non diabetics was 12 ± 2.8. Mean Prolactin levels in Diabetics and non Diabetics was 10.5 ± 2.6 and 15 ± 2.5.
