I missed the doctors app, I thought it was on the 14th but it was on the 12th. Next available is on the 30th. I'm going to ask for the A1C test and metformin.
Just curious, how high did it spike?
9.3 which is 167.4 in US.

Up to 145 would be normal so thats probably borderline or pre-diabetes.
But the A1C would be much better for your situation
Cutting out carbs completely has a different effect on the body than just going low carb. The logic that if a little is good, then going to the furthest extreme is best does not apply here.
Most don't run into any problems because cutting out carbs completely is a very difficult feat to accomplish. However, I know that you tend towards OCD, so you might actually achieve a zero carb diet.
If you do, you'll notice that your resting heart rate will increase considerably, as will your respiration, and you'll find yourself irritable and easily agitated. Your cortisol levels will increase dramatically. It is worthwhile to note that cortisol antagonizes insulin (makes it more difficult for it to do its job). Perpetually elevated cortisol causes a whole host of health problems.
And before I ignite a firestorm with my good friends zkt, LW64, and cvictorg: I'm definitely not trying to argue against a low carb diet; I'm just trying to stop Sade from making the same mistake I made years and years ago (going zero carb). You can reap the benefits of a low carb diet without going zero carb, and going strictly zero carb can actually be dangerous.
As far as diabetes goes: for Sade, this is the wrong approach. He is already thin, so weight loss is not going to help his insulin sensitivity. Even going low carb (with complex carbs only) can only prevent future insulin spikes, and this is far less effective at increasing insulin sensitivity than exercise. Cut out sugars and refined carbohydrates, keep your carb count below 40 per meal, and exercise hard for an hour every other day. Keeping the exercise at one hour lets your body benefit without producing too much cortisol in response.
Sade: I'm sorry bro, but there's no way around the exercise. If you're serious about preventing diabetes, then channel your nervous energy into running on a treadmill at the local gym every other day for an hour. You don't need to wait until you're sober or on TRT to accomplish this; you can do it today.
And start slow!!
Zero carb was the worst mistake I ever made. It was like turning up the volume knob on my OCD / bipolar too the max. The anxiety levels were so high I'd literally wake up and burst into tears. When I finally saw a good endo he was irrate that this diet was recommended to me
( by a naturapth ). He also mentioned that the insulin issues would most likely improve with TRT.

How I Stopped Drowning in Drink

Thanks man. At least you understand that I have miles bigger problems than alcohol. FWIW, I haven't had a drink since last weekend.
My worst fear was elevated blood sugar coming back to me and killing my nerves. Hopefully I've caught it early and can reverse this.
Like I said before, I'm going to continue eating healthy but will introduce some carbs into my diet. I know we need carbs for energy. I've joined a gym so will do what you say. Intense exercise every other day. I'm taking plenty of vitamins and hoping to raise my T and LH levels back into the MAIS range. I'm going to my uros app next month and going to tell him what my plans are if I don't get any help. That I'm going to pump high doses of Test E in me if they don't help me. Maybe MAIS is a blessing after all, in that I will only suffer side effects from androgen therapy at a much higher concentration of testosterone. I've abused roids since I was 21 years old and never suffered from hair loss or gyno problems. I hope to god this is a blessing and that high dose T won't fuck me up like other guys. The only thing left now is to try it out and see what the outcome is.
I really wish that my T and LH was still elevated so that I could get away with smaller doses but now that T has dropped, I'm not so sure how supplementary T will help me. This is why I think of high dose T such as 250-300 mg Test Enanthate. I choose Enanthate because I know how well my body responds to that.

Guys, I started taking roids at age 21 because I was skinny build. I've done the lot, Test prop, Dbol, Test E, Anadrol, Sust, was lifting 3-4 times a week and eating 3000+ calories a day and 2 gram protein per pound of bodyweight. Didn't gain jack other than water weight.
I know exactly why I didn't gain any muscle. [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mild_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome]Mild androgen insensitivity syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

Re: This is kind of depressing...
What is the incidence of MAIS? It's rare enough that the condition doesn't apply to most people. Of course, I guess it's possible to view androgen receptor sensitivity as existing on a continuum. But I think the reason that some people respond better to androgens (endogenous and exogenous) is multifactoral.

Probably had fake gear is why you did not grow not because of mais. Or did.not.know how to train properly
sade, you can deny it, you can ignore it, and you can argue it. Alcohol abuse IS your biggest problem. Say what you will, but thousands upon thousands of men have been in your shoes.
You won't be able to unravel the life changes you need, until you remove the alcoholic behavior and the fog that is challenging your clear thinking.
You need help from an alcoholic program so you can better understand the effects of alcohol on your body and mind.
Clean and sober first, then not one drop, and you will be able to find your way. It's a lot easier with local support from people that understand the problem.
Thanks man, I understand. I haven't touched booze in well over a week now which is pretty good for me. At the minute I'm trying to sort my diet out and keep my sugars in check so will definitely succeed in abstaining from the drink. I'm eating well, exercising and even joined the gym. I'm just so glad that I started checking my blood sugar otherwise I could have developed full blown diabetes in a few years without even knowing. I know that booze wrecks havoc on blood sugar levels. I won't touch it again. I want to be healthy again.
Found a place I can get therapeutic phlebotomies done for $158 and full health screen inc liver function, kidney function, full blood count, lipids, PSA, T, E2, SHBG, TSH, FT4 for $444. This works out a lot cheaper than going private and paying doctor fees etc...The only thing left now is to get the fuck out of this rehab place. My journey will begin soon.

live young die happy.
I've made up my mind and I'm going to do it, If I don't get any help from them. Plus, I can choose my own dosage. It's not as though I won't be keeping on top of my health. I'll be getting regular bloodwork etc...
Over here we don't have many TRT clinics like you guys overseas. Plus the TRT clinic docs over here still put you on T the old fashioned way; 250 mg Sust every 3 weeks, Test E every 2-3 weeks or Nebido. No AI, no Hcg.
