Ketostix

[loser4life]

Just wondering when its best to test... I am assuming the same time everyday? I have (for the past couple of days) been testing a few times a day and they seem to be stronger toward the end of the day, after dinner usually...

Just wondering if anyone had any input on the matter Mine have been barely registering anything till after dinner and then they are usually low-moderate... I have yet to see dark purple....

Thanks soooo much!!! I knew I should've looed first, but I guess i was being lazy! What would I do without yall!

I've been doing it wrong all along! No wonder why I have trouble registering on the sticks. Thanks for asking the question, and Jimmie thanks for showing me the answer. It's embarrassing it's been right under my nose all of this time.

Ohmygod, do you guys know how much money I've wasted testing incorrectly all those times? We figure, I would test first thing in the morning, then when I got home at night (which would be about an hour after exercising and before dinner). Damnit.

Lyssie- I love your goal rewards!!! I have been thinking of what my rewards can be and I had no idea of what to pick... however, I think the jewelry is something I will have to greatly consider

I believe if you drink alcohol you get a wrong reading too... for anyone who's at the alcohol rung. I stopped testing once I re-started my goalie glass of wine of an evening.

i test first thing in the morning. always have. i don't consider it "wrong" for me and here's why. when i go to bed at midnight to 1:00 am, i am back up at 5:15. that is not a sleeping fast to me. as i go through the day, the ketostix does not register as much so i don't use them throughout the day.
