Well you could always wear gloves. Without insulting your intelligence Calli, are you resding the sticks correctly. Someone on this forum, about a week ago critisised a girl for being dehydrated because her stick was showing almost deep purple, that is not correct. The darker the stick the more ketones are being expelled from the body so she did not know what she was talking about. Even if you have a slight colour movement from the fleshy colour it means you are in ketosis. PLease read this

Many people falsely believe they cannot or are not losing weight because the ketones drop to a lower level. However, weight loss continues with or without the ketones being present. The spillage of excess ketones in the urine disappears on the low-carbohydrate diet after the body becomes accustomed to using dietary fats for energy instead of glucose. This may occur within a few weeks on the diet. People who normally eat high-carbohydrate meals have been fueling their bodies with glucose and fructose obtained from the carbohydrates. Their cells have had very little experience burning fatty acids for energy. The body uses the glucose first to prevent high levels of glucose in the blood.

So stop stressing.
