I believe diabetes medicine increased testosterone (!), the return to symptoms like when on TRT.

[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 161415, member: 15832"] Of course I will, I have full confidence that eventually things will work out. I have been experiencing cramping in legs and gut in the evenings last three nights, now I have confirmation it's crushed potassium because teeth are yellow, which only happens when potassium is below range. This all started after I began taking the diabetes medication, not even the TRT decrease my potassium after those two 6mg injections more than a week ago, I have notice more energy since I started taking the diabetes medicine which was Wednesday, I started encountering the cramping Friday. I have noticed since I started taking the ACE inhibitor today I have been urinating more, but have been having these cramping symptoms for days. I'm assuming the diabetes medication is lowering potassium, strange considering it's supposed to block potassium channels. A1C is 6.6%, morning glucose is in the 140's. When I re-started TRT I went from needing 400mg->1400mg to achieve the same levels, as these labs clearly show potassium took a nosedive and I don't understand why. The same thing happens with vitamin C! I don't know if I'll ever be able to do a daily protocol again, this happened to a lesser degree on an EOD protocol and even less on twice weekly. I didn't start having problems until I started an EOD protocol. It seems having my levels stable causes minerals and vitamins to be drained quickly! These potassium labs were done after only two 6mg injections which boosted my energy for many days, I haven't really experienced a major decline. My HCT is 41%, lowest I've ever seen it even when scoring a 97 ng/dL. I'm shutdown after two 6mg injections, whoa! I never did experience a honeymoon phase. Potassium labs: 10/13 = 4.5 10/16 = 4.1 10/19 = 3.6! [/QUOTE]
