Don’t test every day. You will go nuts. Test once a week, on a lazy Sunday, when you are still in your pajamas. Make it a silly ritual. Light a candle. Play some calming music. Dip the strip. Laugh at yourself.
In the grand scheme of life, your blood pH will take care of itself if you eat mostly real food and don’t live in a panic room. The test is just a reminder that you are a squishy, chemical-filled human, and that is perfectly okay. Now go drink some water and maybe eat an apple. Your strip from last week told you to.
