Ketone Strips - Perfect Ketogenic Supplement to Measure Ketones in Urine & Monitor Ketosis for Keto Diet, 125 Urinalysis Test Strips

Methods for detecting ketone in urine

The detection of ketones in urine is found in uncontrollable diabetic patients. High blood sugar levels, the body can not use sugar for energy. Require fat breakdown to cause ketones When the body uses fat for energy, it produces Ketone. The liver will cause the Ketone metabolism to be left in small amounts and not detected in the urine. When the body is unable to use energy from sugar The body uses fat to generate energy and if Ketone is detected in urine.

The principle of Ketone strips

- Neg. (Negative)
Referring to: The body has not produced too much ketone. Which can tell roughly that you are not in the ketosis state

Solution: Reduce the amount of carbohydrates and sugar. And increase physical activity

- Trace 0.5, Small 1.5, Moderate 4.0mmol/l
Meaning: You are burning fat. Your body has a complete release of ketones. In this condition, it is called Ketosis.

Solution: Eat like this and keep living like this.

- Large 8.0, 16.0mmol/l
Meaning: Your body produces more than 8mmol/l ketone, but if there is a very dark color Consume for more than 16mmol/l should check the sugar level too.
Because you may be at risk of getting too acidic blood or Ketoacidosis.

Solution: Drink plenty of water. Eat more carbohydrates Reduce exercise If you have diabetes and have a high ketone value Should consult a doctor.

•      Gestational Diabetes

Time to check

The most suitable time for checking is the morning after waking up. Usually, this is the period when the body has the most accumulated volume Since we haven't eaten or drank anything before for 8-10 hours, with people who have just started eating keto foods After eating for 3-5 days, it will start to have a high amount of ketones until the body excreted through the urine. Or enter ketosis
