Hi Christa,

It would be better to return my letter, because you are referring to things, I didn't say.

Antiandrogen is a drug that BLOCKS the androgen action, glucocorticoids reduce the PRODUCTION of androgens in the adrenals (and probably in the ovaries), but they are not very effective, and have other serious side-effects.

This is what I said, because insulin sensitizer in themselves can reduce the testosterone production, but most doctors (and patients) are eager to see results fast. Sam >
