How do you know if you have large amounts of ketones?
A simple urine test can detect ketones. You use a test strip, like a blood testing strip. Ask your health care provider when and how you should test for ketones. Many experts advise to check your urine for ketones when your blood glucose is more than 240 mg/dl.
When you are ill (when you have a cold or the flu, for example), check for ketones every 4 to 6 hours. And check every 4 to 6 hours when your blood glucose is more than 240 mg/dl.
Also, check for ketones when you have any symptoms of ketoacidosis.
