Timing is everything. Test at the same time each day—morning is gold—and avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for two hours beforehand. Your results will be clearer than a Taylor Swift lyric in a breakup anthem.
Don’t test just once. Record a few days’ worth of data because your body dances to a rhythm, not a single note. A week of readings gives you the big picture, not a blurry selfie.
Also, keep the strips in a cool, dry spot. Humidity is the enemy—think of them like expensive chocolate; you don’t want them turning weird.
