[QUOTE="DarkMan X, post: 230489, member: 43153"] I was diagnosed with lower-than-normal cortisol about a year before starting TRT. This was not your standard blood test - which can bring erroneous results. This test was a "saliva test" which means that 4-5 times a day, I had to spit inside a tube, and then have that tube shipped to the lab and have my results a week later. The reason I ask this is because I think my TRT is further lowering my Cortisol to unsafe levels (OR just really screwing up my adrenals or other hormones). I have lost the initial TRT effects like better mood, more strength, and more libido. The reason I suspect Cortisol over other hormones is because I am diabetic (type 2).... and I have a Libre continuous glucose monitor - So I can frequently confirm that i do indeed get very low sugars. This is kind of the opposite of what diabetes is supposed to do (HIGH sugars). Nobody even talks about cortisol unless it has reached deadly extremes like Addison's or Cushing's disease. The only site I could find about low cortisol symptoms is here below: [URL unfurl="true"]https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/symptoms-low-cortisol/[/URL] I would really like to hear from any other folks who have had cortisol issues!
