question from a user
With T fluctuations being so drastic from any given hour, day, week, how can you really know if someone has a hormonal imbalance?

That is why symptoms are king, and numbers should be used as a guide post for what treatment is appropriate and how responsive someone is. Your 500 and my 500 will feel completely different to each of us most likely, and the medication you do or don't take will not work the same in my body.
A good guide is: Do you have symptoms consistent with low T? Have you been feeling this way for 6 months to 2 years and not before that? Are there any other issues in your life or health that may cause these issues? If yes, yes, and no - it's a good time to get tested (so we have the baseline value, not to determine a diagnosis on its own) and talk to a professional.
The final way to tell is if you do the above & then begin treatment, do the symptoms go away?
The fact is, men in the USA have lower levels of Testosterone than their parents & grandparents did while doing the same activities just by living in the space that we do. All men lose Testosterone with time, period. These two together means that it's a lot more of "when" and not "if" for this generation.
Every man deserves to feel good while he lives his life.
