Confusing Testosterone Deficiency With Insulin Insensitivity In Perimenopause Can Harm Your Health

Concerned that recurring and worsening inflammation might be due to insulin resistance, I asked my doctor for a comprehensive blood panel. We also measured testosterone and estradiol levels. The estradiol results were good, indicating the supplementation was working. But testosterone told a different story: in six months, my already low levels had almost dropped to zero. No wonder my blood pressure has been climbing lately. I had previously discussed testosterone with my gynecologist and wasn’t prepared for how difficult it would be to get testosterone supplementation.
