@mayblin I was initially prescribed 25 mcg/24 hour patch (Estradot), transdermal patch 2x/week with progesterone, micronized 100 mg capsule, 1 capsule QHS -- copied from ND's printout. I have a follow-up appointment next month to see how I'm tolerating this low dose. I recently had 24 hr calcium urine, parathyroid, A1c, cbc and metabolic blood work and CTX from other M.D. and ND I provided results from to women's health practitioner. The P1NP isn't available in this part of Canada, but I plan to get it across the border in Washington State. The menopause ND referred me for a type of coronary scan I haven't had yet and can't recall the name of. I will ask for another CTX in 6 months at my follow-up appointment. I have been on a minimal low dose statin for years I recently cut in half after starting Berberine supplement. The Berberine further reduced my LDL, triglycerides and A1c with reduced dose of Crestor statin, so I'm continuing Berberine combination!

@mayblin I meant to add that my A1c was 5.6 prior to starting Berberine. My recent A1c was 5.2 after 6 months on Berberine. I don't take diabetic medication and am not diabetic, but am careful to control my glucose levels through diet and supplements. Also had tissue transglutaminase Ab IgA and vitamin D tests done.
