here it is:
Nanogram (ng)
0.000000001 or a billionth of a gram.
Deciliter (dL)
0.1 or one tenth of a liter.

In a study published 1997, researchers studied testosterone and health in a sample of 4,393 men between the ages of 32 and 44 who had served in the military between 1965 and 1971. The men were interviewed and medically examined. Testosterone was measured in plasma from blood drawn at 8am. Concentrations ranged from 53 to 1,500 ng/dl with an average of 679. Comparison of men with slightly below average levels of testosterone (400ng/dl) with men with slightly above average levels (800ng/dl) revealed significant differences in health indicators.

1.0 makes no sense with out the specific labs reference range and what measurements they use.

Like DS said, his values refer to ng/dL. that's nanograms per deciliter. An that is for Total Testosterone. Most labs have a "normal" range of 300-1000ng/dl. But you should also have your Free Testosterone checked, as your total test maybe normal, but your free test(the amount of test actually available to be used) can still be low by having HIgh levels of SHBG. SHBG ties up test so it can not be used.
