[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 131189, member: 18023"] I wonder how much this all affects SHBG, to what degree? When I took NDT my FT3 went up quite a bit, from 2.7>4.3.my SHBG went from 36>41. We are assuming that an increase in FT3 implies an increase in T3? I didn't think there was anything notable about the increase in shbg, to me it was a normal fluctuation and not dramatic enough to note. In the past my SHBG has ranged from 42-36 when my FT3 was ~2.7 and E2/TT was on the low side of the normal range. But I have only tested SHBG 4 times in my life, for those times it seemed pretty stable despite changes in E2, TT, FT3. I am taking metformin now, but I have yet to test SHBG since starting. I am not sure what I will test next, I tend to just look at TT/Ft/E2. If TT/FT is OK, I wouldn't test SHBG unless I needed to for some external reason. Like a doctor wanted to order the test.
