Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All the participants will sign an informed consent form. The study will include 30 type 2 diabetic men, (40-55 years old) and 10 healthily volunteers (same age group).
In addition to routine blood test of blood count, kidney function and liver enzymes will be taken blood samples of total testosterone serum levels, total cortisol serum levels and serum inflammation markers levels, and also a sample of head-hair for cortisol and testosterone levels (1 cm of occipital hair weighing 50 mg).
Optional: from patients who will agree to visit the clinic after 8 hours-fast will be also taken one additional blood sample of fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels, in order to estimate their insulin resistance status, and it's possible correlation to the other measures.
From the 10 healthy volunteers In addition will be taken blood and hair samples of the above parameters, as a control.
