I do them exactly like I do before having bloods pulled from my doctor. Fasted night before and water in the morning before the test to get a baseline. I was getting readings from 44-48% during the day but it was between or around meals. Because of this fluctuation I decided to carb up with French toast and a small amount of maple syrup to see how much it would jump....and sure as shit! If I was on cycle at 56% I could be well over 60 because of a cheat meal. I don't like that. HCT is the only marker out of full panels that have been out of range for me when on cycle... besides slight cholesterol

I went thru 10 strips, and all have been consistent..exact, except 1 - all the numbers were super low. I'm about to hop on cycle and I'll be posting a lot more of these. Gunna try IP6 while on cycle to see if it works.
