^^^What they have said^^^

Because the change on a day to day can be fairly small, I would suggest bringing it up to your target range and then wait a week to test again. Divide the result by 7 to get your daily consumption. With hobby grade test kits, the difference one day to the next can easily fall within the margin of error for whatever test kit you are using. A little OCD can go a long way in eliminating that as well. Do the test exactly the same way every time.

My only other suggestion would be to make sure you test at the same time of day each time. You can then remove that particular variable from the equation.
