[QUOTE="Kettlebells, post: 149711, member: 17086"] Like I said, I could do it. I used to inject a diabetes drug when I was camping. It was a pain in the backside. I was never as happy as when I finally learned what worked for me diet and lifestyle-wise and was able to reduce my hbA1C to a point where I could just use metformin. As long as I get the results that I desire from pellets, I see absolutely no reason to switch to injections. There is a lot of pro-injection bias on this site, which is largely from guys who have never used any other form of TRT. Yes, pellets do not work for some guys. However, to say that injections are better for all guys under all circumstances is to be divorced from reality. There are guys for whom topical testosterone works, but it became a nightmare for me. The major reason not to do pellet therapy is the cost, not the results. Pellet therapy is expensive, but so is AndroGel. Injections are relatively cheap because we are using a commoditized technology to deliver a commoditized compound. My insurance covers the procedure and six Testopel pellets. I paid $20.00 a piece for the the other four 87.5mg compounded pellets. My total out of pocket cost was $30.00 for the visit plus $80.00 for the pellets not covered by my insurance. I will pay $110.00 to $150.00 (if I have to go to 12 pellets) per quarter to avoid to having to apply a topical daily or inject myself at least one time per week. I would suspect that I would have to do EOD injections because I am a low SHBG guy. [/QUOTE]
