Most doctors prescribe once a day application in the morning and this is sufficient, and mimics the way the body produces T, namely higher in the morning and gets lower as the day goes by. I know it is sufficient for me.
This is a good point but the gels for me stayed in my blood stream for 24 hrs. We took tests at 12 and 24 hrs. and they were with in 10% of each other. I did not get a low in 12 to 24 hrs. I guess I was lucky. There is a chart in this link showing what 5 and 10 grams of gel did in 24 hrs.
