Sex hormones and the development of type 2 diabetes in women %K %X In the last two decades several cross-sectional or prospective studies demonstrated that increased testosterone blood levels and reduced sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations may significantly predict the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in women (1-3).
