1 year test results (with reduced carb & Spiro)

My Endo called this morning with the results from my 1 year checkup. I am on Aldactone (switched from Spiro just to see if there's a difference : )), I did NOT discontinue use before the tests.

I don't have the exact numbers in front of me but the gist was all hormone and insulin levels were within normal range. I believe he said my testosterone had dropped to 28, which was a very large drop (more than 1/2).

Really my big complaint right now is hair loss, everything else is great. Since I quit taking the Antioxidant Vitamin it has slowed some, there was probably too much A. My hair is not regrowing as much as any of us would like and that is a concern. Hopefully we can figure out a solution to the loss/regrowth thing soon. I have also had an appearance of face/body hair that I didn't have before. Dr. thinks that it's just a side effect of the Aldactone/Spiro. It hasn't really gotten worse so right now I can live with it.

If anyone knows of any 'tips' for regrowing hair (not rogaine!), please post them!
