Testing for Low Testosterone

If you’ve been suffering from the symptoms of low testosterone, testosterone blood testing is the only way to get the answers you need to live the life you deserve.

When Are Levels Low Enough For Treatment at Low T Center?

At Low T Center, testosterone levels under 350 ng/dL are considered clinically low for all age groups. If your levels fall below 350 ng/dL and more than one symptom is present, this is usually enough for a diagnosis of low testosterone.

And if you get a test and decide not to start treatment, that’s no problem for us. We’re here to help give you clarity for your next steps.

How Testosterone Testing Works at Low T Center

To make sure our results are as accurate as possible, and to allow insurance to cover treatment, testing follows a specific process:

  • Two blood tests are required to confirm a low testosterone diagnosis
    This is necessary for insurance to cover TRT when eligible, making treatment accessible to more men who need it.

  • Blood draws must be completed before 11 a.m.
    Testosterone levels are naturally highest in the morning, so we encourage testing later in the morning, not as soon as you wake up. Insurance plans also require testing before 11 am.

  • Fasting is required
    To make sure your blood test is accurate, you’ll need to fast for 6-8 hours before your blood draw. Water and black coffee are allowed. (No cream or sugar).

Why Testosterone Blood Tests?

At-home or saliva tests may seem convenient, but they do not offer the precision needed for medical decision-making or personalized treatment planning.

Blood tests provide the most accurate and reliable measurement of testosterone levels. They allow providers to evaluate both total and free testosterone and assess results alongside symptoms and medical history.

What Happens After a Low T Diagnosis?

Once testing is complete, your provider will review your results with you and discuss whether testosterone replacement therapy or another approach may be appropriate. If levels are normal, testing can still help rule out low testosterone and guide further evaluation.
