Diagnosed with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes

Thought I would provide an update;

Currently on 5 mg daily Cialis for 6 months, carnivore diet for 4 months and Jatenzo @237 mg twice daily. I work out 7 days a week for at least 1.5- 2 hours.

I’m leaning out around the waist, need a new wardrobe, clothes are baggy, 6 ft, 200 lbs and gaining muscle. I get a lot of attention, looks from young women in the gym.

At my worst I had a 40” waist, at the start of TRT it was 36", now my waist is 32".

Fasting glucose 108, dropping into the normal ranges after eating meat and remaining there throughout the day.

All smiles!

I just had more labs drawn 2 days ago. My ferritin is 222, hematocrit 58.5% and hemoglobin 18.9. September 2022 my hematocrit was 54.3% and hemoglobin 18.9.

My blood pressure is 110/60.

My high hematocrit is the result of dehydration caused by reducing my iron dosage several weeks ago. Whenever I reduce iron supplements, I get dehydrated via excessive urination.

My energy levels since restoring my normal iron dosage a few days ago is very high! I feel amazing and one thing I’ve notice, I don’t get cold easily!

I’m crushing my gym workouts!!

I’m like a magnet for young beautiful women. The young women can’t stop putting themselves in my spaces, in the gym, and at work. I met a 25 year old women, super hot, beautiful person on the inside, 27 year age gap, who for weeks put herself in my spaces in the gym who is now training me.

My endocrinologist’s take on my high hematocrit->

I can’t tell you at what level of hematocrit is too high for you, but this is pretty high.

Be careful gauging success just about how you feel. History is full of stories of failures based on people who judge success based on feeling.

I’d recommend at least monthly monitoring of your levels at least for the Hgb/Hct.

Update, 2024 23 April. 52 years old, 6’ 202 lbs, 32” waist, down from 36 pre-TRT, at my worst 258 lbs, 40" waist”. Gym 7 days a week, for 1.5-2 hours and carnivore diet.

Trying to get rid of loose skin on belly.

I’m in the process of developing my pecs, making respectable process.

I have been noticing in every day walks of life, I’m noticing attention from young women who are losing their composure at the mere sight of me while trying not to show it, which has the opposite effect, lol.

I turn to look at my surroundings and I’m being stared at by multiple other women simultaneously. It’s difficult not to smile.

It happens everywhere.

It’s hilarious!

A year ago, no one was looking at me, I was invisible!
