Re: any thoughts on progesterone?
I believe that study was using progestogens, which is a synthetic form of progesterone. From what I’ve heard progesterone does not have the same drawbacks. In fact, it’s supposed to be protective.

Re: Hormone Replacement Therapy E4 Women
The first study you linked used progestin. That is a very different drug than progesterone or Prometrium, which is widely used today. progestin is known to have several horrible side effects.

Re: Why Such a High Baseline Glucose?
How can it be? Pre-diabetes? After wearing a cgm I got a surprise. My fasting glucose seems to hover between 100 and 110! Postprandial spikes are mostly around 140 with only a couple going to 150. That is only a delta of only around 30 which doesn’t seem horrible. But the high baseline has me stump...

Re: Why Such a High Baseline Glucose?
Kind of obvious, but I thought I would ask - are you putting the CGM in the correct spot? They only work in the underarm from what I was told. I was wearing it on the back of my upper arm...top of the tricep muscle. My glucose swings aren't huge (30-40 points). In fact, if you took my whole curve a...

Re: Sudden rise in glucose and insulin??
Have your doctor add on a free T4. Last year my TSH was high but they just repeated the TSH in a few months, when it came down it just under 5. This year TSH was high again but I had the T4 added on, confirming hypothyroidism. I need to post soon what a dramatic difference treatment of hypothyroidi...
