Re: Re: Cortisol Test Results--Q, Why ACTH testing

[Guest guest]

>>Val--just wondering why is it helpful to know if adrenal fatigue is a

pituitary problem. Isn't the treatment the same? <><

If it is a pit problem you will need other hormones as well, possibly before and

to be able to optimize thyroid and cortisl. If for exampole, progesterone and

estrogen are veyr low as well, you will nhave a hard time utilizing the cortils,

thyroid and DHEA will alos be low. Estrogen lowers insukin resistance so taking

HC beofre gettign SOME estrogen in you could cause risk of Diabetes. You may

feel hypo and it actualy be low estrogen or low testosterone, makes running by

symptoms MUCH more difficult so basically it mans tetsing and adjusting more

hormones.

>>Would this be the same for a male?

What kinds of things should a male w/ type 2 diabetes condiser before

starting HC?

What extra Labs?<<

As the pancreas has estrogen receptors I do not know why ti would be different

for makes and females. Estrogen stimulates insulin release, and lowers insulin

resistance. But not sure if I was a make I would run out and buy estrogen! LOL

Just be certain yours is not too low. I think just liek testosterone is

important to women probably estrogen is also needed by men but you never hear

about this. Having Type 2 and starting HC means you simoly need ot check glucose

more often and adjust diet and meds if needed. HC actually lowers my glucose!

Cnanot figure out why except possibly due to it helping the thyroid work better.

Extra labs for hypopit would be all the sex hormones in serum testing. Possibly

Growth Hormone too.

It is not likely to be JUST low aldosteron but it is possible.
