[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 132271, member: 18023"] I can't say DHEA had any negative or positive effects on me. But I am trending towards not changing my natural levels of hormones (thyroid, DHEA, E2, DHT, ?) that are in range UNLESS I see a definitive benefit. I am leaning towards not wanting to "optimise" levels based on a theory. I see a obvious benefit to raising my testosterone level, and an obvious benefit to lowering my blood glucose. AND without TRT my Free T was below range, my E2 was below range, and without either changing my diet or using metformin, (or a combination of the two) my blood glucose was trending towards out of range. As long as my E2 stays between 20-40, that seems OK by me. I only had E2 at 56 when my TT was at 1389 ng/dl (264 - 916) and FT was at 28.4 (6.6 - 18.1). So my TT/FT was fairly high, it made sense my E2 would rise as well. (I feel like I could lower my blood glucose with diet weight loss alone, but metformin does seem to help lower my appetite and lower BG.) [/QUOTE]
