High fasting glucose of 115 after 7 mos on Orgovyx

Thank you. I didn't realize there was a short term protocol available. My obvious concern was that once I started on a diabetes drug I would have to always take it even though my glucose returned to normal after stopping Orgovyx.

That is type 2 diabetes and can be reversed with diet and no longer taking a drug that causes it. Same with lipids. 115 isn't awful. Actually, 105-115 is my prediabetic normal and don't take anything for it and my providers don't push any drugs on me. Which I wouldn't anyway. Statins mess with your liver and can cause leg and hip pain. I hate taking pharma drugs but sometimes they are needed.

I forgot to mention that there is a solution to this problem. Change your diet. When you get prostate cancer, you need to stop eating red meat, you need to really cut back on sweets and increase the amount of vegetables you’re eating..
I was on ADT for eight years and my last A1C was 5.4. It hit 5.8 a couple of times before I really changed my diet.
I used to eat a sub sandwich for lunch every day. I now eat a huge salad. My wife must know 25 different ways of making chicken that are really good. I eat a lot of fish, Norwegian Salmon is pretty inexpensive at Trader Joe’s, tastes great and is good for you.
Change your diet and your A1C will reflect it. Something to consider.
