Call your doctor to get an appointment to discuss your testosterone level if you have symptoms of Low T. And ask to get tested. A blood test can determine if you have low testosterone. There are two blood tests that can measure your testosterone. The most common test measures “total” testosterone in your body. The other test measures just the “free” testosterone. This is the testosterone that flows freely in your bloodstream. To confirm whether you have Low T, your doctor may conduct this second test.3

If you have diabetes, you should ask your doctor for a T-Test. The Endocrine Society recommends that all men with type 2 diabetes have their testosterone levels checked.3 Patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes have an increased chance of also having Low T.1
