Hormone therapy can alter metabolism and body composition. Studies have found that insulin resistance or sensitivity has developed in transgender individuals receiving hormone therapy. However, there is still uncertainty about whether type 2 diabetes is more commonly present in trans men and women using hormone therapy than in adults in the general population, therefore, a study in the Netherlands compared the incidence of type 2 diabetes amongst adult transgender individuals receiving hormone therapy to the incidence of type 2 diabetes amongst individuals in the general population. |
