Confusing results from Diagnos-Techs

December 29, 2007

Most a.m. serum levels since June

have been mid-range; 14.5,8.5(9;30am),13.2, 7.6 (noon), 11.6.

For women the serum at 8AM shoudl be at least 20. AT noon 14 or so, so it DOES

change ALOT by time of day. Even an hour can make a drastic difference. And if

oyu sleep differnt hours thna " nirmal " it can also make a difference. Thsi is

why the saliva testin shows AF so much better.

>>Serum androgen levels

have typically been high/high normal, but DHEAs level finally coming

down (144) on last serum.<<

OK this is your adrenals giving up the ship. When adrenal fatigue hits stage 6

the DHEA and thus the sex hormoens will usually be pretty high. They are all the

adrenals CAN make to pumo the metabolism. When DHEA starts lowering you are

entering stage 7.

Assuming the levels will stay the same is a HUGE mistake! They progress

sometimes slowly sometimes faster dependding on what else is going oin in the

body.. Amoutn of daily stres, HOW hypothyroid you are or are not, and digestion

as whether your body is stressed form pooor digesition or even from poor glucose

levels.

>>I should add that blood sugar (I have a home monitor) is all over

the place, with post-meals being as high as 180's; fastings from mid-

8o's to low 100's. <<

Depending on WHAT you ate and how long after eating it these may be perfectly

mornal readings. HIGH carb meal in the first 2 hours DO go quite high on the

glucose meter. Then your insuling kicks in and lowers it how fast depends on if

you have enough insulin, low enough insulin resistance and hwo many carbs there

are to handle and if they are fast or slow carbs. Full digestoin and glucose

handling takes 5 hours afdter a meal to complete. To say your glucose is jumping

around, you need ot compare fastign numbers ONLY. That means nothign to eat or

drink for 5 hours before testing.

sure I don't need a doc to help me through this. I'm in N.C. and

have considered Rind. Any advice? Email me privately if you need

to.

Which is failure? There IS more relaxation at this stage.. Does

cortisol jump around at this stage also?

about 12 hours after eating. I'm pretty educated about glycemic

control and post-prandials can be high sometimes even with good

protein/low glycemic foods. I should add that diabetes is rampant

on both sides of my family. Also that I have gained about 15 lbs

(although still not " heavy " ) mostly around middle. High androgens?
