You have got to just feel so much better and more energetic. Can’t imagine. Great work man.

It's kinda weird because with diabetes I've never really felt like shit. Though I can say I feel a lot better in general now lol

You probably just didn’t realize since it was the normal.

That's exactly it. The changes are slow so you just get used to them

I didn't think it would be, but its kicking my butt right now. I'm thinking I'll adapt eventually.

Depending on how much you were eating before and what your BMR is, it might be too much.
Weigh yourself every day and take the 5 day moving average, and if you’re seeing more than 2 pounds a week drop, you need to eat a little more If you want to maintain normal activity levels. 2 pounds a week is sustainable, more than that gets sketchy.

I’m a lot lighter than you and my BMR is ~2500/day just sitting on the couch and not doing anything. I assume you’re not sitting on the couch doing nothing. I’d probably aim for ~2500-ish to start assuming you’re about 500-700 calories a day active (and your BMR is probably higher since you’re bigger).
If you’re feeling noticeably tired and taking naps it’s probably too much, I just feel hungry when cutting, not particularly tired.

I've settled around 182 now. I may lose a little more but I'm not pushing it. This feels about where my body should naturally be sitting. Still a little bit of body fat left but not really that much that I want to do much more. Just lifting now and trying to eat more protein.
Lost over 50 pounds and I just feel like a completely different person.

Great job man, I know I’ve said it but that is a real achievement and something hard to do.

Thanks boys and I'm suppose what's even better is my blood sugar. Just absolutely flatlined most of the time

Initial results on blood test when I went to the T dr. Had been talked about in here or else I'd jump into health problems. Just seeing if anyone see's anything crazy or noteworthy. August is my next appointment, be interesting to see what enclomiphene did in 2-3 months, unless it's massive result still going to I think switch to injecting. I think I'm less sleepy with less sleep than normal. Maybe not as sore for as much housework as I've done this week. But nothing yet that's outside the range of placebo effect.
Taking a little boron and DHEA just based off my probably bullshit reading around online.

Yeah, your T is low. But, your kidneys also need to be monitored, based on those scores.
Creams really do nothing. Injections (done correctly and responsibly) are going to get you results.

Not a cream, pill, fucks with hormones blocking estrogen receptor to trick body into boosting T production.
Kidney maybe makes sense, I dont recall much when I was a little kid was looked at for renal reflux. I do feel like I piss fairly often without too much to drink, can't hold a ton. Probably a good thing to try to get off 1 a day energy drinks.
Was busy that morning so it was an inadvertant fasting test, not sure if that threw anything off, think I had some nicotine on board.
