    Here's the latest labs. Do you think the endocrinologist can or will do anything?

    It appears I'm still too high of a test range for TRT.
    What about my FSH and LH, is this low enough to worry about?
    Based on my labs does it look like my endocrinologist might be able to do anything for me?

    Do you have diabetes or am I missing something here?

    TG and glucose are elevated. Did you eat right before the test?

    I too thought LH was a bit low with such a T concentration. But I did see your e2.

    Yes I'm type 2 diabetic and having some issues getting it under control.
    My e2 was not checked.

    I was concerned about my FSH because its only .7 into the normal range.

    Right now you have a data point. When you take another blood test, say in 6 weeks, look at the trend of FSH. If it's constant, you're ok. If it's dropping the doc should look at your pituitary. I am concerned about your triglyceride. Your Cholesterol is 199 but that number is invalid because your triglyceride number is so high. A high triglyceride number can artificially pull the cholesterol number up. Your HDL number is good so I'm assuming your cholesterol is also good. You should talk to your doc about your triglyceride numbers. Numbers that high is not good.
