Large Decrease in Testosterone Blood Levels During the Day

[hfbjr]

Just curious,how many others have numbers plummet as the day goes on.at 7 am and fasted,I'm at 425 total,however by noon,I'm at 276.these were however done on different days via diff.labs.

Anyway,my appointment with Dr crisler is for the 31st,which seems too far away.im ready to get back on the path to normal.

You are not comparing apples to apples. Different labs and test procedures will give different results.

As an example - with the SAME blood sample - I got these results:
- Lab 1 = Free T of 443
- Lab 2 = Free T of 567

Also - unless you are injecting daily - the time since your last injection will be a factor as well.

LOL. I was wondering when I saw that! Hehe.

Food increases insulin which tends to decrease T output during the day. Also, our circadian rhythm boosts testosterone in the early morning hours (3 am - 6 am). Of course, if you are using TRT this is a moot subject

Interesting,very interesting.

does fasting include water deprivation?

 

[Vince Carter]

Water is always good for fasted state blood testing. You don't want to be dehydrated, tougher to find vein, blood flows not as well.

 

[ERO]

Drink as much water as you want. Fasting means no food or drinks like pop, juice, coffee, etc...
