TRT 1 Year Update

So went to see Endo today.
She asked to see me after lab work.

Being I have slightly elevated calcium levels and igf1 she is checking to make sure I don’t have Acromegaly. She doubts i have it.

Funny thing is acromegaly would explain my surprise cardiomyopathy. And it would indicate a tumor near pituitary. Which can explain secondary hypogonadism.
I did have a mri 2 years ago without contrast. That was negative.

I will continue metformin.

So to check for Acromegaly it is a glucose tolerance test that checks Growth hormone, glucose , insulin during the 3 hour test.

I believe my igf1 is slightly elevated cause of TRT. My igf was 246 (76-216)
Calcium 10.3 (8.7-10.2)
