DHEA Supplementation

Chivato.. I was told by my doc 8 is a normal insulin level. Mine is 28 and he said I have Insulin Resistance . So does DHEA help reduce insulin levels ??

Here is the email I got from my doctor about this "The total amount of testosterone per ML is 250mg. At 1.5ml, you would be getting 375mg of testosterone (300mg of testosterone cypionate and 75mg of testosterone propionate)." Sound like a lot to me for a 1st timer...
