Troy, dark purple strips will indicate that you are not drinking enough water. Not drinking enough water will cause one to stall. You gotta drink more water.........and don't test in the morning, test in the evening.

Could you tell me why you should test at night and not in the morning? My best friend works at a diabetes center and they tell their patients to test in the morning.

Josephine, diabetics are testing for a different reason. They are testing for ketoacidosis and need a fasting test result.
