[QUOTE="Moonshot, post: 66655, member: 15321"] I just got back my Thyroid panel, here are the results: - TSH: 2.53 uIU/mL, range 0.450 - 4.500 - Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S: 1.18 ng/dL, range 0.82 - 1.77 - Reverse T3, Serum: 13.4 ng/dL, range 9.2 - 24.1 - Thyroglobulin Antibody, <1.0 IU/mL, range 0.0 - 0.9 - Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab: 13 UI/mL, range 0 - 34 - Triiodothyronine,Free,Serum: 2.7 pg/mL, range 2.0 - 4.4 The TSH seems to have gone down a fair amount, and I don't know what's considered a red flag, but the rest of the Thyroid panel appears to be within reference ranges. Also, my Serum Glucose went up to 89 mg/dL, ref. range 65 - 99, so that low reading of 51 went away with this draw. A year ago at my physical, the glucose value was 86, so 51 is the odd man out. It may not be relevant to TRT, but since I gathered all the comparable values together from last year, I'll also add that my lipid values improved from January 2016, which may correspond with my weight loss--back at that time I was near my peak weight of about 230-235 lbs., and over the past year I dieted down to 199, then started gaining (hopefully some muscle with my lifting, but definitely some fat), and was around 215 at the time of the newer draw. Value comparisons: Total Cholesterol: 181 -> 155 (range 100-199) Triglycerides: 103 -> 38 (range 0-149) HDL Cholesterol: 49 -> 62 (range > 39) VLDL Cholesterol Cal: 21 -> 8 (range 5-40) LDL Cholesterol Calc: 111 -> 85 (range 0-99) T. Chol/HDL Ratio: 3.7 -> 2.5 (range 0.0-5.0) My total T went up from 386 to 442 over that timeframe, which perhaps is also related to fat loss, and other dietary improvements--I've been trying to eat more broccoli, cauliflower, steak, and other "T friendly" foods, so perhaps that helped some. The draw last year was also taken earlier in the morning, so the apples to apples difference may be more pronounced. Any feedback on these new numbers? [/QUOTE]
