Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I have thought of this myself and would love to make a process to do that like a diabetic. It's been a long time since I had any chemistry, but I am guessing that it would be really tricky to get the specificity on T alone and not any of the other hormones with similar structures. I think the glucose meters have a redox reagent that measures the potential created by the glucose.... ? Maybe you could do a 5-alpha reduction on T?? If you figure it out, I'll buy one from you! > hey guys, > > I was wondering if any of you have had the desire or the idea of > checking yoru own testosterone.
