Im not on any meds yet btw.

Estrogens, total

Estradiol 44.5
Estrone 95
Progesterone 1.91

Glucose was good, at 98
Thyroid was normal at 2.18

<--happy about those

Thanks for any help... GirlinFL

98 for Glucose? Were you fasting? If you were, that's on the high side and might suggest insulin resistance. It's better to be between 80 & 90 on a fasting glucose test. Many labs have moved the cutoff for diabetes or near-diabetes from 110 to 100, so you are awfully close.

Thanks for the reply, yes it was a fasting glucose, the given range on this test was 70- 105 so the nurse told me that i was ok, with no diabetes.. i already know i am IR

im having a test done to check my IR levels in 2 weeks.

guess i'll ask the dr about this too.

thanks-GF
