In plain English

In men with type 2 diabetes, larger testicular volume is associated with higher body weight and larger waist size.

See the scientific wording

In men with type 2 diabetes, larger testicular volume is positively correlated with higher body weight and waist circumference, suggesting a complex relationship between adiposity and testicular structure in this population.

Why this might work

Extra fat tissue releases hormones that change how the body manages sex hormones and blood flow, causing the testicles to swell in size.
