Re: NEW GUY WITH T-TEST 1.7

[Guest guest]

Good for you for finding out what's wrong. I don't know the scale

they are testing your T level with, I don't know what 1.7 means.

On a side note, don't type in all capitals because it reads like you

are yelling and is harder to make out.

It's merely different units of measure. Yours I'm betting are nmol/L

Most Americans talk about it in ng/L

Here's a chart to give you an idea of the comparison and what's

normal.

16.32 is normal . . . . .for an 80 year old man.

The conversion factor for testosterone is about 35 nmol/L to get ng/L

No, with 1.7 and 3.6 being normal, sounds to me like it is a

completely different test. I am guessing maybe a free androgen index

or something...
