I'm 41, have worked out for 20+ years, eat a pretty good diet, and not over weight. Over the last year or so I have really noticed some changes/Symptoms in the way I feel physically and emotionally. Reduced energy, difficulty focusing, libido loss, grumpy, irritable, and working out has become a real struggle. As a result I did some research and looked into the possibility of my test levels being the cause. My Dr, who is an internist, states they are normal. My question is, test ranges seem pretty broad for "Normal", so am I within norms for my age? Or am I normal for a 75 year old? Is there any reliable info out there about where test values should be by age? Here are my numbers: I should also mention I'm Type 1 Diabetic for 30 years under good control. These were taken fasting at 9AM by Quest. Thanks for any advise.
