hi Dani
You are in ketosis and burning fat for fuel. Rejoice!!
The sticks only measure ketones that have spilled over into the urine ... yes, drinking more water will dilute the urine somewhat, and give a lower concentration, but you don't WANT the ketones to concentrate and accumulate ... it's like ash on a fire ... some is good .. too much ends up stifling the burning process. As well, if your body has used up the ketones for fuel, then there'll be very little left over to spill into the urine.
Click on Low Carb Tips on the orange menu bar at the top of the page ... read Ketosis and Ketone Test Strps ... that should answer all your questions.
Continued success to you on your low-carb journey!
