What are Ketones?

Ketones are made from the breakdown of fat used for energy when there is not enough insulin to carry glucose to the cells and organs of the body for fuel.
Too many ketones in the body can lead to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) which is dangerous
Symptoms of DKA may include: nausea, vomiting, fruity breath, dry mouth and other signs of dehydration, severe exhaustion and confusion

Why is blood ketone monitoring important?

DKA is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of 2%-10%
DKA is the leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and death in children with type 1 diabetes
Blood ketone testing can help stop episodes of DKA

When should you test for blood ketones?

Blood ketone testing should be performed by those with type 1 diabetes on sick days, during high periods of stress and whenever glucose reading is greater than 250 mg/dL
Blood ketones should be tested by those with type 2 diabetes who have high levels of insulin resistance or when recommended by your health care provider
Blood ketones should be checked during pregnancy when recommended by your physician
