[QUOTE="klawler9, post: 90333, member: 17207"] Great forum. Thank you in advance for answering my questions. I'm on TRT since mid summer. Feel pretty good. Still dialing in the dosage. Got some numbers back [I][B]Free T is at 32[/B][/I]. Pretty much double the upper end of the range per the test report. [I][B]Total T is around 1050[/B][/I]. I know why I got so high (made some dosing mistakes on my end then got tested 2 days later). Im also on an AI. [B]Question 1) what are the potential issues with high Free T? [/B]I've tried searching here and everywhere and can't really find any good info. I'm not concerned but would like to know a little more. Additionally I've been concerned about my [B][I]fasting blood sugar[/I][/B] levels hovering around [I][B]100[/B][/I] and jumping up to 130 on black coffee alone. The best I've seen is 95 on a 24 hour fast although I once saw 65 after a 5 day water fast. I was considering Metformin but my recent [I][B]HbA1C[/B][/I] test showed a really decent number at [I][B]5.2[/B][/I]. MY PC is a great guy who understands a lot of this and says he cant explain fasting glucose being that hovering around 100 if my HbA1C is so good. [B]Question 2) am I a candidate for Metformin?[/B] Im trying to drop some stubborn body fat. Currently at [I][B]17.7% and 211 lbs (6'1" tall, 47 years old)[/B][/I]. Would there be unintended consequences from say 500mg x 2 per day? Would I see any benefit? Best Regards Ken [/QUOTE]
