Checking Ketone Levels: Testing your urine to measure your ketone levels can be done at home by ketone urine test strips. urine testing continues to be more common.

What causes high ketone levels?

The human body primarily runs on glucose. When your body is low on glucose, or if you have diabetes and don`t have enough insulin to help your cells absorb the glucose, your body starts breaking down fats for energy. Ketones (chemically known as ketone bodies) are byproducts of the breakdown of fatty acids.

The breakdown of fat for fuel and the creation of ketones is a normal process for everyone. In a person without diabetes, insulin, glucagon, and other hormones prevent ketone levels in the blood from getting too high. However, people with diabetes are at risk for ketone buildup in their blood.

If left untreated, people with type 1 diabetes are at risk for developing a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). While rare, it`s possible for people with type 2 diabetes to experience DKA in certain circumstances as well.

What do my results mean after testing by ketone urine test strips?

  You can measure ketones at any time of the day. However, ketone levels tend to vary, being highest in the morning and right after dinner. It is also best to avoid measuring your ketone levels right after exercise because the numbers you would get then won't represent your mean ketone levels. Being dehydrated, over-hydrated, and taking certain medication (Mesna) can lead to inaccurate results, especially with urine ketone strips.

While individual testing may vary, in general, results for ketone testing are labeled in the following way:
