FDA keto test strips monitor for ketosis

Product Description

Are you on a diet where part of the goal is to be in nutritional ketosis? Some diets, such as the Atkins Diet, recommend testing to find out whether your body is generating ketones. The easiest and least expensive way to do this is to test your urine using Ketostix or a similar testing strip. Although it is not the most accurate method, it can be helpful for home testing, especially when you're new to a ketogenic diet.

What are Ketones?
Usually our body will turn the food we eat into sugar (glucose) and this is used for energy. But if you have diabetes, you may not have enough insulin for the sugar in your bloodstream to be used for fuel. As a result the body will use fat instead and as the fat is broken down, substances called ketones are produced. Ketones are produced normally by the liver and are usually metabolised so very little or none will be detected in urine or blood. However, when Ketones are present in the urine this can be an indicator of diabetes. Ketones can also be present if your body is starved of food and so may be present first thing in the morning or if you have been on a strict diet or have been suffering with sickness.

What test ketone in urine?

Keto in urine is a manifestation of metabolic acidosis. It is found in diabetic acidosis. Some febrile disorders, such as typhoid fever, scarlet fever, measles, sepsis, acute millet tuberculosis, poisoning, such as phosphorus, chloroform, ether, etc.. It can also appear after surgical anesthesia.

Examination of the urinary ketone body helps to identify diabetic coma and insulin shock. Ketonuria occurs under physiological conditions and is found when eating more fat. In cases of hunger and severe vomiting, ketones can appear in the urine due to increased fat mobilization.

Reaction principle

The acetoactate and nitroprusside cause reaction in alkaline medium,which produces purplish red compounds.

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:

normal/negative	less than 0.5 millionles per liter(mmol/L)
low to moderate	0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L
high	1.6 to 4.0 mmol/L
very high	greater than 4.0 mmol/L
