If achieving the same T levels, does Androgel differ in effect from T injections?

[TGraham]

If the patient achieves the same (high normal) T levels, does the effect of treatment with Androgel differ in any way from the effect of T injections?

Muscle?
libido?
energy
E2?
sides?

Thank you,

if you are basing this on t levels only why not say "if the t levels and the e levels were the same too"? if so y would u think anything would be different?
some say that gel may aromatize more because it absorbs thru the skin/fat where this usually takes place...but everyone is different

I have done scripts of both. For me TestE shots @ 100mg EW is about the same as 1 daily Androgel . However, the TestE seems to be more even, while the gel seems to spike my libido in the early AM following PM application. The gel was a pain in the ass!
