[QUOTE="Walker DC APRN, post: 180786, member: 40829"] Some factors which lower SHBG are high levels of insulin (Diabetes Type 2), Growth Hormone, IGF-1, Prolactin, Transcortin, and Testosterone. Whether someone is a candidate for TRT depends on several things. Lab numbers matter. What matters just as equally if not more is their symptoms and how they feel. Lacking energy and nagging small injuries can be a symptom of a less than optimal Free T for that person. Many factors need to be considered. Once on TRT I look to see how the person responds. Mostly on how they feel. In general, there is an opinion a Free T of around 20 is optimal. But, I have had patients on TRT with a Free T of 14 and they felt absolutely great. I have seen other patients on TRT who had a Free T in the 20s (with everything else optimized), and they did not feel dialed in. Some guys just need more T because that is how their engine runs. Everyone is an individual. [/QUOTE]
