I sought out the therapy because my A1c had crept up to 6.4 last year, and nothing seemed to work to get it down. Scouring the internet I found that raising your T levels to the higher ranges has been very effective in treating diabetes and pre diabetes. I'm 53 years old, 6'3" lean at 220lbs. My first 6 weeks of the therapy didn't do much for me at 80mg Test Cyp once a week injections. We increased it to 120mg once a week injections for the second 6 weeks......my total T had increased from 479 to 579 and Free T followed from 14 to 21. My protocol was then shifted to try 80mg twice a week to see how I would respond....the thinking that I'm a high absorption rate guy. By week 22 my total T at trough levels were showing at about 1100, free T at 56 and E2 at 60. I wanted to leave things alone and see if my E2 would settle out with the use of an AI, however it would not. My feet were swelling and acne had set in. I added the AI (Arimidex .5mg compounded with 2500mg DIM twice a week). My ankle swelling went away, and the acne flare ups greatly slowed down. </p><p></p><p> Right now I feel fantastic, I think I'm dialed in pretty good. The gym is great, body is recomping great, mental focus and well being is great. Libido and erections are great. Life is great. </p><p></p><p>Only concerns with the blood work: A1c is at 6.1, which is not bad for me. I was at 6.4 at the beginning of the therapy. Hematocrit is now at the high end of the normal range. Should I go ahead and start scheduling regular blood donations? Estrodial at 29.....maybe a little low? Any feedback, comments, anecdotal advice would be very much welcomed!
