[QUOTE="fatboyy, post: 117895, member: 19191"] Ok so... As far as lymphocytes the only thing I can think that might have elevated them is that I was having what I thought were allergies. I’m not sure because I’ve never suffered from sinus allergies before but that’s what I (mistakenly?) assumed was going on. Glucose - I am usually an extremely well controlled diabetic but the night before my test I was at a 50th birthday bash for a friend and indulged quite a bit. Usually I’m in the 90’s, my A1C was 6.5 at last check and my doctor is planning to take me off all meds come December. Lipids - I know they are bad but they are vastly improved from previously. I am not on statins and I have lost a ton of weight recently so I’m assuming they will level out as long as I keep eating right and being active. My triglycerides are down from 540. So bad but improving here. Total/Free T - The numbers here are surprising to me. How reliable is free T testing? I read that SHBG is commonly low in diabetics. Maybe this is the cause? DHEA - I’m glad I didn’t take any of the DHEA supplements my parents bought me and insisted I take upon hearing that I have low T. I’ve read some scary things about DHEA being high and cancer. IGF1 - I know that taking bovine colostrum can safely and effectively increase IGF1 because a friend of mine with leaky gut takes it and her doc has to closely monitor her igf1 because it can soar due to the colostrum. So I plan on asking both doctors about this. Hemoglobin / Hemocrit / Red blood cells - All too high and I may know why. My doctor says he is afraid I have mild sleep apnea but my fiancé says I don’t snore, gasp for breath or anything else. I do remember when I was at my fattest waking up gasping for air occasionally. That was well over 50 pounds ago. I build houses and work my ass off all day and I KNOW I don’t drink enough water. My fiancé is always concerned/upset about it. It’s just that I don’t feel thirsty, I only drink water, coffee, tea throughout the day and evening (no soda or beer) so I need to just force myself to drink more. Also the diabetic meds I’m on are known to make people pee a lot so there’s that. I do have blood work from my primary care doctor I can share. My thyroid, liver, kidney and glucose were all tested and all normal. Glucose of 91 and A1C of 6.5 (We want it below 6) [/QUOTE]
