@Kvirion said in recent bloodwork, NEED HELP:

Has anybody made a systemic background check on you? I mean what is your family health history, in which type of environment do you live? What were the circumstances where your problem started? Have you been exposed to any toxins or large amounts of GMO foods? Which drugs/supps have you taken before?

systemic background check??

@Master so ive been working with the doctors since april of last year, been a really slow procedure & have had numerous tests since. Recently had an MRI done on my pituitary & came back clear about 2 weeks ago, & then had bloods done ago last week. Theyve diagnosed my with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism & tbh ive been doing everything i can think of to improve it naturally (following majority of the bioenergetics guidelines as well as research deeper n deeper). Idk why i have high b12 but its been high since 2022 & ive never supplemented (i originally thought maybe it was due to a high nutrient dense diet, but in 2022 i was defo not eating a nutrient dense diet). I spoke to Hans & he thinks its a possible SIBO so gonna research into that. Appreciate all the help & you actually caring in advance. Ask for more details

context;
I'm 20M, had low T for over a year & i've done everything i can think of to increase it but not much progress
in brackets is the dates of previous tests for reference

ask for more context & appreciate all the help

@yerrag thanks alot, for me i love these little maticulus details

So i check my BG before eating each meal,

how should one interpret & as a result respond accordingly to a high or low blood glucose level prior to a meal (e.g. if you have a high bg before a meal would u delay the meal by 15-30 mins or eat less carbs that meal, on the opposite if its low, eat more carbs????)

& what would one class as high BG (personally anything above 5.0 mmol/L 30 mins after waking is starting to get high for my liking (i preferably want it below 4.8 but this is me being a perfectionist), & before a meal, i ideally want it below 5.6 before eating my next meal (meals are normally 3-4 hours apart & if BG is high normally push my meal back by 15 mins or eat less carbs that meal whilst my body is still processing the carbs from my last meal)

also what are the optimal ranges for fasting n post eating BG ( e.g. 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, & right before ur next meal, as well as after n overnight fast)
