Ketone analysis

Ketones are chemical compounds that are produced when insulin in the blood is low and the body uses stored fat for energy.

Ketones in the urine are an indication that the body is using fat for energy instead of glucose because there is not enough insulin to use glucose for energy.

Ketones in urine are more common in type 1 diabetes.

How do I get tested?
Ketone tests are sold at the pharmacy, so talk to your doctor about it, as well as what methods he recommends for documenting the results. Most tests include strips, some of them wrapped in aluminum foil (and lasting longer).

Urine tests are simple, but to get good results, you must follow the directions exactly.

Make sure the strip has not expired. Read the document that comes with the strips. Check with your doctor or nurse about the correct way to get tested.

In most urine tests:

• A urine sample is obtained in a sterile container.
• A strip is placed in the sample (you can also place the strip in the urine stream).
• Excess urine is gently shaken off the strip.
• Wait for the indicator on the strip to change color. The prompts tell you how long to wait.
• The indicator on the strip is compared to the color chart on the vial of strips. This gives you an approximate value for ketones in your urine.
• The results are recorded.

When should I get tested?
Ask your doctor or nurse when to test for ketones. He may recommend that you do it under the following conditions:

• Your glucose level is over 300 mg / dl.
• You have nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
• You are sick (for example, you have a cold or the flu).
• He is tired all the time.
• You are thirsty or your mouth is very dry.
• His skin is red.
• You have trouble breathing.
• Your breath smells like fruit.
• You are confused or disoriented.

These may be signs of a high ketone level that requires medical help.

What do my results mean?
A small or minimal amount of ketones may indicate that ketones are starting to build up. You should be retested in a few hours.

A moderate or high amount of ketones is a danger sign. They alter the balance of the blood and can cause poisoning. Never exercise when your glucose is high and a urine test indicates a moderate or high amount of ketones. These are signs that your diabetes is not under control. Talk to your doctor right away if your urine test results indicate a moderate or high amount of ketones.

It is important to take note of your results and related events. Your diary contains the information you, your doctor, and instructor need to know if your plan is working or needs to be changed.
