I test daily sometimes, it reminds me to keep on track. I also test if I have eaten something questionable. I usually test in the morning. I have also heard that if you are very well hydrated this lessens the reading, due to dilution.
I usually test low, but 6 hours after exercise it shoots up to much darker. This encourages me.
I found it was a bit like scales- I was jumping on those many times a day - so I try to test once a day, but lately I haven't bothered- probably because I know it will be negative- as I have been eating blueberries. My daughter is on a gluten free non dairy diet- and therefore so am I to some extent, which means I am eating many more vegetables- vegetables throw me out of ketosis.
Thanks for this thread, it will remind me to ensure I keep on track.
