[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 131194, member: 15043"] Oh ok that makes sense. Ya didn’t mean to scare ya with the diabetes talk lol. But I’m a nurse, and I’ll be honest with ya, laid up for 6 weeks or not, you better watch your numbers like a hawk. A1c is an average of your glucose levels for the past 3 months, so even if you’ve been laid up for 6 weeks, doesn’t really explain the other 6 weeks before that. Plus, even if a normal non-diabetic person was laid up for 3 months, they would not have numbers even close to yours, so there’s some metabolic disorder goin on. So just monitor things, that’s all. Probably at least get on some metformin. As far as the high free testosterone, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not too too high, and I highly doubt it’s what’s causing your issues. You have a lowish SHBG, I would say the most likely culprit is your elevated E2. It’s not that high for say a guy like me with a higher SHBG, but for you, it’s most likely making you feel like garbage. You probably need to get your E2 closer to 30 to feel optimal I would imagine.
