Product Information

It takes several days for your body to enter ketosis and several weeks thereafter to adapt to using ketones for fuel. Urine strips are ideal if you’re new to the keto diet and want an easy and affordable way to ensure you’re headed towards ketosis.

However, it can be difficult to tell whether you’re really in ketosis or not unless you use some form of objective feedback.When you restrict or limit carbs from your diet, your body produces ketones from fat, resulting in the physiological state of ketosis. This suggests that the sensitivity of the urine dipsticks may be even lower than our observations, further supporting our conclusions that urine dipsticks are not accurate for detecting mild ketosis. Now that you know what your ketone levels should be as a result of following a keto diet, we need to tackle an important topic: diabetic ketoacidosis. In an effort to control blood sugar and weight, some people are turning to the ketogenic diet for managing type 2 diabetes.

But if you limit or avoid these foods — such as when you’re on a keto diet — your body doesn’t have enough glucose to meet its energy needs. The total meal replacement products used in the severely energy‐restricted diet provided between 2,630 (630 kcal) and 3,260 kJ (780 kcal) per day in this group of participants. Not eating enough food: Skipping meals or eating too little due to a lack of appetite could put you at risk of DKA. You produce ketones when you don't have enough of the hormone insulin in your body to turn sugar (or “glucose”) into energy.However, it can be difficult to determine whether your diet needs adjusting to reach and maintain ketosis. After 15 seconds the strip will change colour, which you can compare with the colours on the packaging and read the result.

Diabetes technology comes in various forms and has the potential to change the way you manage your condition in the future. DKA is more likely to develop in someone who has type 1 diabetes, but a person with type 2 diabetes can be at risk if they have uncontrolled blood sugar, are missing doses of medication, or have a severe illness or infection. In our clinical experience, some people find it motivating to monitor an outcome other than body weight, particularly one that is a sign of ‘fat‐burning’.However, previous studies have shown that the concentration of β‐hydroxybutyrate tends to be higher in capillary blood than in venous blood. Keto-Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis provides a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence of glucose and or ketones.
