Although ketone test strips are not a must on the ketogenic diet, they can be highly beneficial to those just starting keto. It allows you to stay accountable and make a connection between your food, ketone levels, and how you’re actually feeling on a certain level of ketosis. Originally designed for people with type 1 diabetes, they also appeal to those following a ketogenic diet as a more accurate way to measure ketosis ( 7). Key Point: Ketone test strips are a urinalysis tool. They give people an indication of their state of ketosis by showing the level of ketones in urine. What Level of Ketone Bodies is Best For Health? I preferred the identical lancing device that came with both the CareTouch and Keto-Mojo meters. It was easiest to use and felt well designed in my hand. That said, all of these lancing devices were functional; the Precision Xtra was the most difficult to operate. Data Note that there are fluctuations which are caused by a change in hormonal level. This shouldn’t stop or discourage you from monitoring your ketone levels.

Consider whether you’d be more comfortable providing urine or blood whenever you’d like to measure your ketones and you should be able to narrow down your favorite from there. If you are diabetic, we’d recommend a blood test for greater accuracy. The Nova Max stores 400 readings. Although it averages blood glucose readings, it does not average ketone readings. No data export is available. For someone attempting to ‘enter’ therapeutic levels of ketosis, ketone testing is a valuable tool. If you’re new to keto and are trying to determine how deep into ketosis you are, it’s best to test at the same time every day. Since your hydration level plays a role in your test results, it’s best to test at a time when your hydration will be relatively the same each day. For most people, in the morning before consuming liquids is the best time.Step 5: Discard the urine testing strip. Then wash your hands. How To Interpret Ketosis Urine Strip Results

Ketone testing is often done in people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is when your pancreas fails to make or produces only little insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar by allowing it to enter the cell to be used for energy ( *). These are fantastic for measuring your urine’s ketone levels and come with a free e-book. Key Features Ketone test strips work by detecting the amount of ketones in your urine — specifically, the ketone body acetoacetate. The strips have a small absorptive pad at one end of the strip, which you place in your urine stream. The pad contains a chemical that will detect ketones and will change color depending on the concentration of the ketones in your urine. I repeated this procedure three times, on three separate dates. The repetitive design of the experiment allows us to evaluate the blood sugar meters several times (six readings in total for each meter), which gives us a better idea of overall meter performance rather than placing too much weight on one single reading. I chose to test when I was in full-blown ketosis, in moderate ketosis, and out of ketosis, so we can see if the meters perform accurately in different conditions.
