[QUOTE="robinhood_1984, post: 203061, member: 42705"] I hope you don't mind me jumping in here but this post has been incredibly enlightening as I'm in a very similar position to the OP, though I'm new to TRT. According to my pre TRT labs, my SHBG was 16.4 (16.5 - 55.9) so very much at the lower end and it would seem, much lower than ideal. My total testosterone was at 215 ng/dl (264-916) and my free testosterone was at 9.5 pg/mL (8.7 - 25.1) Anyway, for the past 3 weeks I have been on my starting protocol of 180mg per week, split into 3 doses per werk of 60mg snd to be totally honest, since the second or third dose, all of my low T symptoms seem to have gotten noticeably worse and I felt pretty awful before. Anyway, given what I've since learned about SHBG I am taking it upon myself to change my protocol and lower to approximately 100mg per week and shift to injecting every day snd remain with that until my 3 month labs etc. As for the SHBG itself, I suspect that I have insulin resistance and I have been on an intermittent fasting regime for a couple of months now to try and reverse that, though since starting TRT I'm finding it very difficult to go 16 hours without eating, let alone my preferred 18, whereas it was pretty easy before. Again, thanks for this great post, and others on this forum. [/QUOTE]
