| Main Objective: To test the effect of twelve weeks of testosterone replacement, given as Sustanon 250 IM injection, on arterial stiffness measured by ultrasound derived stiffness index beta of the femoral artery in men with hypogonadism, type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease (the study population).;Secondary Objective: To test the effect of testosterone, given as above, on intima-media thickness of the femoral artery in the study population To test the effect of testosterone, given as above, on peripheral vascular disease as measured by transcutaneous oximetry of the foot and ankle-brachial-pressure index in the study population. To test the effect of testosterone, given as above, on vascular risk factors (eg blood pressure, cholesterol, weight) in the study population.;Primary end point(s): Change in the stiffness index beta of the femoral artery in men with hypogonadism, type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease (the study population) after twelve weeks of testosterone replacement, given as Sustanon 250 IM injection compared with placebo. | — |
