[QUOTE="rhino5169, post: 59385, member: 14708"] Hi guys, I want to get back to this with a couple questions and results with the "oatmeal experiment". So before eating anything this morning I was 157. Yes that's high for not having eaten since about 7pm yesterday but I have dawn phenomenon. [url]http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/blood-glucose-control/dawn-phenomenon.html[/url] I had some oatmeal around 8:30 and at 10 am it's 178. So it did go up but only by 21 points, though still to high. I will se what I can do about that and thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes with so many health issues going on it's hard to focus on some things when other things take priority, and those priorities are constantly rearranging. Metformin: I understand all the good benefits but this is what has kept me from going back on it [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2765338/Diabetes-drug-metformin-cause-heart-disease-thyroid-problems-experts-warn.html[/url] [url]http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/861514[/url] @JDS In an earlier post you didnt recommend HCG. I see most posts about it here do recommend so i'd like to get more info on why you dont. Did you mean solely taking hcg, because you then did recommend trt. I am thingking a combo of the 2. Any input on that? Also, for anyone in general, I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to go over that labwork and discuss trt. I have some questions I will ask him but if there's anything you say I should be asking please let me know. One of the most important questions I am asking I will ask you guys too: I am mst concerned with rbc / hematocrit and causing heart attack by using trt. IF my levels rise then my questions are these: 1. How far do I let them rise before blood donation, given my current cardiac situation I have 2 stents, though my cardiologist says my functioning is back to normal? 2. If I keep those levels controlled, is the ANYTHING else I need to be concerned about or stay on top of to prevent cardiac issues, or is the hematocrit / rbc levels the tell tale be all indicator?
