Question for PCa patients using Estradiol transdermal patch for bone protection and SEs

As I noted in an earlier now deleted post, I've been using the lowest dose E2 patch and saw an unexpected reduction in my glucose level from a recent blood test. What I am trying to ask are there any PCa patients using E2 transdermally in the group who have seen their usually elevated above range glucose level drop well back into range after starting E2 therapy? I'm not looking for responses about glucose testing parameters, etc., but only from those using or who have used E2 who may have seen a reduction in glucose levels in their Complete Metabolic Panel levels after starting E2. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
