That doesn't sound right.

ELOS is 2 part... First part, if you were at proper levels should be about 32-34 drops, with the second part giving you a value between 5-6 drops

You subtract the second part from the first to give you the total drops, then multiply by 50. So something is wrong there with your testing. Please recheck.

As Don.ald stated, if you only did the first test and you have a total of 20 drops, then doing the second test subtracting from the first... YOUR MG IS WAY LOW!!!

Keep us posted.
