gout, and question on insulin levels

[Guest guest]

Well, I was trying to do the right thing and ween off of statins, and had

introduced niacin therapy, slowly working up to 1000mg...just this Friday I

upped dosage to 1000 (moving slowly from 200 to 300, on up to 1000), and by

Friday night I had gout in my right toe. For the first time ever. I researched

side effects of niacin, and this is one possible side effect. Needless to say,

I am not doing the niacin any longer.

Crap.

My entire foot is swollen and it throbs like a toothache. Hope this fades away

soon.

My real question, i suppose is about TRT and insulin levels. I have noticed

since beginning TRT injections (and perhaps since the ghrp6 and hcg) that my

blood sugar levels have been quite a bit higher.

I am borderline diabetic, metabolic syndrome, and probably plain and simple type

2 diabetic now. Has anyone noticed higher sugar levels since starting therapy?

Comments, suggestions?

Thanks,

Clint
