Testing ketones are used for different reasons. The top uses are for various diets (ketogenic, paleo, atkins). This test is for general reference only and is not for any medical treatment and does not constitute medical advice.

Ketone is a chemical produced when there is a shortage of insulin in the blood and the body breaks down body fat for energy.

Ketones in the urine is a sign that your body is using fat for energy instead of using glucose because not enough insulin is available to use glucose for energy.

In a nutritional diet, a person will have to achieve ketosis or nutritional ketosis which will effectively make the body burn fat for fuel instead of sugar from carbohydrates.

The idea is get high ketones if you are trying to achieve ketosis through nutritional dieting but to help manage type 1 diabetes, keep ketones low.

For whatever purpose you have for testing ketones, the Ketone Test Strips will be your best guide with its results in seconds.
