Weight loss and physical activities are able to improve both metabolic profile and testosterone levels. The combined approach of testosterone replacement therapy and lifestyle modifications could be suggested in symptomatic hypogonadal men to better motivate patients to perform physical activity which can eventually result in weight loss as well as metabolic profile and sexual function improvement. Whether or not these approaches can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus from pre-clinical conditions requires more studies.
