Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Prolactin levels have been shown to be reduced in poorly controlled diabetes mellitus; however, diabetic patients with high prolactin levels may be seen in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate diabetic patients with hyperprolactinemia, and to determine the role of macroprolactinaemia in these patients.
