April 30, 2005 (Press Release) --
What if you find higher-than-normal levels of ketones?
If your health care provider has not told you what levels of ketones are dangerous, then call when you find moderate amounts after more than one test. Often, your health care provider can tell you what to do over the phone.
Call your health care provider at once if:
Your urine tests show large ketones
Your urine tests show large ketones and your blood glucose level is high
You have vomited more than twice in four hours and your urine tests show high ketones
Do NOT exercise when your urine tests show ketones and your blood glucose is high. High levels of ketones and high blood glucose levles can mean your diabetes is out of control. Check with your health care provider about how to handle this situation.
