LH, FSH, Prolactin, Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen, Glucose were measured for 63 individuals, 28 of these individuals were normal and 35 cases were diabetic patients from January 2010 to June 2011. When diabetes mellitus or insulin resistance occur these lead to decrease of insulin level and decrease of estrogen level. LH, FSH, Prolactin and Estrogen were decreased in diabetic postmenopausal women rather than control, while Testosterone, Progesterone and Glucose were increased.
