[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 265163, member: 43264"] When I was about the OP's age, I was in a similar situation. My BP was high (140/90) my fasting glucose was 110, GFR was 60, Testosterone was 290 ng/dL, LDL Cholesterol was high, HDL was low, central obesity, all of those symptoms of metabolic syndrome (at the time called syndrome X) and my doctor told me in a very nonchalant way "you are pre-diabetic, you have kidney failure..." and I said what?! He still did not believe that I had low T, I was depressed instead. I changed my diet, started eating less refined carbs, more healthy fats, exercising (lots of treadmill) and those variables improved significantly in less han 6 months. Even T went up, but many of the symptoms that the OP describe were still there. So yes, TRT may not be the end all be all, but it may help. Getting into a healthier lifestyle helps a lot. I don't know what the lifestyle, diet and nutrition of the OP are, but he can probably reverse a lot of those condition to a healthier state simply by improving his lifestyle. If he's already doing all that, then maybe some medical intervention is required. [/QUOTE]
