[QUOTE="CROM, post: 141229, member: 16642"] Yeah totally get that treating symptoms is what is most important rather than a number. But I have read that increasing testosterone improves insulin sensitivity and improves pre-diabetes/diabetes and such. I am not diabetic but pretty sure that I have some level of insulin resistance. So if my TOTAL testosterone is low does it worsen my insulin resistance [B]or is everything based on FREE testosterone[/B]?[B] [/B] My free testosterone is through the roof now that I am on TRT cuz my SHBG is only 6. But now my free T is so high I am having side effects like acne. To get my free T in normal range and reduce side effects I will have to lower my dose significantly...bringing my TT to the low/lowish range. My main concern is if total testosterone has an effect on health factors or is it just about free testosterone. [/QUOTE]
