The current recommendation for strict metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus requires the administration of supraphysiological doses of insulin, which might result in insulin-mediated stimulation of androgen synthesis, as occurs in insulin-resistant states. At present, the prevalence of hyperandrogenic disorders in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus is unknown. Eighty-five women with type 1 diabetes mellitus were evaluated for symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism. In 68 of the patients, several serum androgen and hormone concentrations were measured. The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was defined by the presence of menstrual dysfunction, together with clinical and/or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism, and exclusion of other etiologies. Eighteen healthy women, menstruating regularly, served as controls for the androgenic profiles. Thirty-three patients (38.8%) presented hyperandrogenic disorders (16 had PCOS, and 17 had hirsutism without menstrual dysfunction). Type 1 diabetic patients with PCOS presented increased serum total and free testosterone concentrations, and serum androstenedione levels, but had normal serum sex hormone-binding globulin and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate levels. Hirsute type 1 diabetic women without menstrual dysfunction presented normal serum androgen levels. There were no significant differences between hyperandrogenic and nonhyperandrogenic type 1 diabetes mellitus women in clinical variables such as the duration of diabetes, age at diagnosis of diabetes, conventional or intensive insulin therapy, mean daily insulin dosage, or metabolic control. In conclusion, women with type 1 diabetes mellitus have a high prevalence of hyperandrogenic disorders, including PCOS and hirsutism.

Objective: To investigate possible causes of menstrual disorders and androgen-related traits in young women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Fifty-three women with T1DM (duration 8.0 ± 5.6 years), 41 women with (polycystic ovary syndrome) PCOS, and 51 controls matched for age (19.4 ± 4.3 years vs. 21.2 ± 2.7 years vs. 20.8 ± 3.1 years; P>.05) and body mass index (BMI) (22.2 ± 2.7 kg/m2 vs. 21.9 ± 2.0 kg/m2 vs. 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2; P>.05) were prospectively recruited. Results: Two women (3.8%) in the T1DM group had not experienced menarche (at 15.5 and 16.6 years); of the rest, 23.5% had oligomenorrhea, 32.1% hirsutism, and 45.3% had acne. The age at menarche was delayed in the T1DM group compared to controls (12.7 ± 1.3 vs. 12.0 ± 1.0 years; P = .004), while no difference was observed with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) group (12.4 ± 1.2 years). There were no differences in total testosterone (0.43 ± 0.14 ng/mL vs. 0.39 ± 0.14 ng/mL; P>.05), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (269 ± 112 μg/dL vs. 238 ± 106 μg/dL; P>.05) or Δ4-androstenedione (2.4 ± 1.3 ng/mL vs. 1.9 ± 0.5 ng/mL; P>.05) concentrations between T1DM and controls. However, patients with T1DM had lower sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations than controls (61 ± 17 nmol/L vs. 83 ± 18.1 nmol/L; P = .001), which were even lower in the PCOS group (39.5 ± 12.9 nmol/L; P = .001 compared with T1DM). The free androgen index (FAI) was higher in the PCOS group compared with both other groups (T1DM vs. PCOS vs. controls: 2.53 ± 0.54 vs. 7.88 ± 1.21 vs. 1.6 ± 0.68; P<.001). FAI was higher in patients with T1DM compared to controls as well ( P = .038). There was no difference in DHEA-S concentrations between T1DM and PCOS patients (269 ± 112 μg/dL vs. 297 ± 100 μg/dL; P>.05). Conclusion: Menstrual disorders and androgen-related traits in young women with T1DM may be attributed to an increase in androgen bioavailability due to decreased SHBG concentrations.

Abstract Aim: To estimate the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2), as well as the predictors for glucose abnormalities in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Material and methods: A cross-sectional study with 80 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed PCOS who underwent the standard 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the measurement of sex steroid hormone and lipid profile. Results: According to the results from the OGTT, 63% had a normal test (NT), 23% had IGT, and 9% had DMT2. The NT group was younger with lower BMI than IGT and DMT2 groups (25.1 ± 7.3, 31.5 ± 6.5, 37.4 ± 4.0 years, and 29.1 ± 8.3 kg/m2, 31.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2, and 34.5 ± 5.6 kg/m2, respectively). The testosterone levels were highest in the group with a normal test (2.7 ± 0.8 nmol/l) and lowest in the DMT2 group (1.9 ± 0.8 nmol/L), with statistical significance. The sex hormone bounding globulin (SHBG) levels were low in all three groups, with statistically significant differences between NG and IGT, and the NT and DMT2 groups. The multivariate linear regression model identified age, BMI, SHBG and testosterone as major independent predictors for abnormal glucose metabolism. Conclusion: It seems that the prevalence of IGT and DMT2 among PCOS women in our country is not as high as in Western countries. Age, BMI, and SHBG increase the risk for the development of IGT and DMT2. Thus, close monitoring of older, obese women with low SHBG is needed because of the higher risk for the development of IGT and DMT2 in such patients.
