    Hi everyone,

    My Free T is really high, more than a standard deviation
    outside of the reference ranges.. My doctor says this is
    good, but I'm not so sure -- prostate cancer runs in my
    family.. Does high free T imply low SHBG usually? If so,
    doesn't that sometimes indicate a glucose problem (low SHBG
    correlates with high fasting insulin)?

    Thanks

    What is Free T? What is SHBG?

    Thanks!

    Aside from the fact that most of us don't have a CLUE as to
    what you are talking about, or what it has to do with
    diabetes, one standard deviation is just FINE

    I googled SHBG and found -

    synthesized by the liver. Circulating androgen and estrogen
    concentrations influence SHBG synthesis

    Thanks for that enlightenment, I understand it clearly now,
    or I probably will as soon as I look up glycoprotein,
    androgen. I think I know estrogen.

    No don't tell me. I have enough trouble trying to get into
    more understanding of things like beta cells and
    glucostats and.....
