Hello All. I found this topic on the board recently and have been reading a bit. It interested me as I am a 38 yr old male and feel like I have been declining in many ways in recent years. I have been active in weight lifting for about 20 years so the topics of Test, supps, hormones, etc are very familiar to me, yet can be quite confusing. I feel like I need to be a Dr just to read and understand this board.
Anyhow, In the last 2-3 years I have noticed a significant drop in my energy levels, sex drive, focus, and just overall attitude on a day to day basis. I used to Love hitting the weights, and now it is just a huge chore. I can take sex or leave it most of the time as well. Overall, I really just get through most days with not much enjoyment at all. What sucks is I have a pretty good life with a beautiful wife, good job, etc. Is this just normal aging? I hate to think of life at 50 if this is it at 38!!
Ok, some specific questions:
I am a type 1 diabetic of 25 yrs. Is this type of therapy, if blood tests warrant, a possibility for a diabetic? I am in good control and always have been. Most A1C's are between 5.9-6.2. However, recently they have gone up to 7 even though I do everything the same and test my glucose levels 8 times a day. It is getting harder to control these as well.
Second: This has probably been answered but I simply could not find it. If you begin this type of therapy, I assume it is a life long commitment? This worries me a bit as the uneducated govt is treating it like crack so i could see a day when Dr's simply won't perscribe it any longer. Then what? Would I be worse off than ever?
Thanks for your time and feedback.
