What is Ketosis?
Anyone following a standard high-carbohydrate diet will be burning glucose for energy.
However, the body can use both carbohydrate and fat for fuel .
When carbohydrate intake is very low, the body switches to burning fat for energy. As this happens, our body enters a state of ketosis.
Ketosis is a natural biological state during which our body burns fat for fuel. While we are [in ketosis] our blood levels of ketones-a by-product from the breakdown of fats-rise.
Measuring these ketones (also known as "ketone bodies") can, therefore, provide a hint as to how deeply our body is (or isn't) in ketosis.
For this reason, ketone strips-which measure the level of ketones-have become increasingly popular in recent times.
Measuring ketones in urine allows for early detection and treatment of uncontrolled diabetes and mitigates the risk of developing ketoacidosis. The method also serves a purpose in healthcare, as a quick-and-easy indicator of ketosis.
They can be very useful when you are just getting started on a ketogenic diet. Urine ketone testing can serve as a rough guide to help you know whether you`re on the right track.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 |
