Ketones in Urine, Testing with Urine Strip Tests

[@cami-loo108]

Oh my God I couldn't agree more. I was a sugar addict and when I started peeing ketones I was amazed that that wasn't craving sugar after every meal

[@melissascissorsong6538]

I'm using the urine strips and I'm curious as to whether or not there is an appropriate or optimal level that you should be looking for as far as color on the strips?

[@simonjack9699]

Yeah I'm here after reaching keto urine test level 40❤ im so happy its usually 5

[@JamesEdd3]

Houston, Texas. I just ordered my Ketone Urine Test Strips. They may not show any ketones because I have been eating keytogenic for several years and I fasted 40 days last year for lent

[@beabasson3132]

Thanks dr Boz

[@franperez3950]

How long will the strips work for me? How can I tell Im still doing well after strips no longer give me info?

[@giivan1986]

Hello, I am not doing a ketone diet, I eat carbs and chicken, tuna, also sweets sometimes. Istarted noticing this fat in my urine like 3 months ago started looks like oil drops, so I bought a ketones test strip and started showing results with traces of ketones, now is up to small level. Any input what this means? I dont eat a lot of meat really, never eat red meat either. Thanks

[@nictegki]

Thank you

[@yermanfa]

Test strips never show ketones regardless of how low (nearly zero) carbs I eat. I've lost 60-65 pounds, but test strips never show anything for me.

[@fishmut]

Big possibility was they were no good, if they were out of date or not ceiled properly in there container the strips become useless. always check the expiry and keep the strips ceiled well , also they should be used with in a certain time , they can deteriate after some time.

Why do i have HIGH ketones in my urine and NONE in my blood !?

[@lenavoyles526]

I'd like to see answer to this.

[@veronicabaeza2729]

I'm in the same boat: 80mg/(2+) was detected in my urine test. However, my doctor wasn't too concerned. He just told me to increase my water and electrolyte intake. I have been on carnivor for almost 3 months.

[@angelicadavey2428]

I'm 8 months pregnant with gestational diabetes and my ketones level is high. I need advice of what to do

[@lovebrown8750]

Did you deliver a healthy baby

[@silvagfamily9544]

I am new to this channel and so glad I found it....I am looking for info on Keto and One Kidney. I am in the process of donating my kidney and I’ve been on the Keto diet which I LOVE! I met with a dietician last week who told me I would no longer be able to practice a ketogenic diet which bummed me out . But I can’t seem to let it sink just yet 😅🙈

[@CarlMainhart]

I've been doing low carb/carnivore, not keto for 3 months and have lost 25 lbs and yesterday I had labs and my A1C was 4.9 but for some reason my urine showed I had a level of 80 mg/dL for ketones. Is this bad? Why is it so high? Am I doing something wrong? I'm not a diabetic.

[@cloud9photography126]

why does my urine keto strip read dark purple but then one min later my blood ketones are only 0.9.....im confused

[@dazzler114]

Dr. Box, Can you tell me how long one can remain on the keto diet before one has to get off of it. Or do you have to get off of it at all? Please respond Pete

[@melissadd7597]

Ive ben intermittent fasting for 3.5 weeks due tk breast cancer and i have zero carbs sugar. Well some carbs from lettuce and broc. Im not eating very much protein. I want yo starve the cancer but having barely any glucose to feed it. But my ketones are registering 8. Do i need to add carbs? Electrolytes?

[@justemusicme]

How is everything going for you?!

[@mollyaloysius9095]

Dear Dr, do you recommend the keto diet for arthritis patients ?

[@lynnwilliams5432]

molly aloysius I’m on it and it really helped inflammation only appear after weights workout and not the three day after lactic acid bc I used to have them. Walking 20-25 thous steps a day .

[@mollyaloysius9095]

@@lynnwilliams5432 Thanks!

[@danachoate5361]

@Dr Boz Do you recommend ketones for someone in Renal failure?

[@ravingcyclist624]

273 days and counting, urine sticks still work for me. They agree with my Fora 6.

[@helenmary9416]

is there a taste test for ketones? will my urine burn if there are ketones? still looking for for strips in south korea.

[@Lulu-vi4wb]

You can find it in Amazon.

[@Tmanaz480]

Dr. Boz. I got my a1c down to 5.6 through kero. I'm now off insulin and only taking metformin. Waist went from 50 to 44. I'm making LOTS of ketones (blood levels 5, 6, 7) but my sugar is still averaging 113. I've had a handful of readings in the 90's. Is it ok to be making this level of ketones when my sugar is high-ish like this?

[@kathyowens890]

I'm 10 weeks into my ketogenic way of eating (under 20 carbs per day). My blood ketones usually range anywhere from 1.5 - 4.9. A urine test strip is also measuring the highest level on the stick. I thought I should quit wasting ketones in my urine by this time. Any idea what's happening? Could my body not be using the ketones I'm making? I'm a bit confused and discouraged by this.

[@karliann1]

Have you noticed a weight loss?

[@mvelenagarcia]

Doc, all my tests have come up perfect.... including ketones in urine... the problem is.... i've started producing calcium oxalate stones.... they are small yet, just sediment.... but i'm worried about what to do to eliminate them..... in my city there are no keto friendly doctors... the responce was, cut down the fats up the carbs..... HELP PLEASE!!!!!

[@terrymoline8260]

My ketone strip shows 40-80 in 7 hours after I ate? I’m a plant based eater and just started fasting. Is that ok?

Urine strips are a waste of time, they always show .5, no matter if i eat 5 tablespoons of MCT oil :) !!
