Well, my first inklings that something was way wrong all started when I was weight lifting at least five days a week. Not knowing I was LADA, I was trying to blunt the cortisol rise with a CHO (carb) drink. Let me tell you, that didn’t work. The highest readings that I was getting once I started testing, before the Endo believed me, were after lifting weights. Since no one wanted me to quit resistance training, and after trying to blunt the cortisol rise unsuccessfully with ciproheptadine, the doc Rxed Xanax, which works for me. (If Cortisol rises, so does bg.)

I had steroid myopathy from an adrenal tumor, so the only way to undo that was weights.
