question from a user
What range do you typically like to see Total, Free, and E2 at? (Trough and peak)
AlphaMD's Answer
There are ranges that can look good, but more importantly than that what we want is people to chase benefits & not numbers. Too many people can get bogged down in wanting a number when it has nothing to do with what may be ideal for them personally. Out of those though, we would start to look at E2 around 40-60 and think about controlling that better.
