Is there any information to prove that Metformin when taken over a period of time can reduce testosterone levels ?

Cannot answer your metformin question specifically, but low testosterone and diabetes often go hand in hand.
Use dr Google and search for 'diabetes and low testosterone ' and you'll discover some interesting information.
