Have any of your guys been tested for testosterone? I read somewhere that men who have heart attacks are quite often found to have a lower-than-normal level of testosterone. Also, men with diabetes have been found to have lower-than-normal levels of testosterone.
Just something else I would like my Dr. to check if everything elses experience is similar.
Cheers,

Not me! Been told have too much anyway. :whistling
Does red meat lower your testosterone level? I doubt it. Most men with high testosterone like to eat red meat. They also like to watch football, drink beer, and pick up women. Red meat seems to get the blame for most heart attacks, so I don't think your theory is valid!:D

Seriously, not from any test but in how I've felt my guess is that anytime the body is repairing itself from injury or disease there is a decrease in T levels. It would be interesting to see the results of any testing for this to confirm it or not. Persue it and let us know what you find out.

Too much eh?
Been told that yes. Think it's the hair a lot of it and it grows fast, well not as much now still grows fast. Use to shave three times a day and still had a rough face so I grew a beard. Which some say makes me look mean. Think it really makes me look like a huggy bear, but like a bear there is an agressive streak. :- Still it's not a real indication of T levels just an impression.

for some reason the Dr. has made that a part of regular Blood Check since I had my HA 7 years ago and even with Diabetes--it's just fine thank you
I have this theory--since the male body is designed to be rugged and---stuff about needles causing leaking out and..............
Naw, I don't think I'll go there:whistling
