oem ketone urine test strips with fda
Basic Info
Model No.: Ketone test strips
Product Description
Low-carbohydrate diets are sometimes called [ketotic] diets because they cause the body to burn mostly fat for energy (since the intake of carbohydrate is so low), which in turn causes the formation of ketones. Some people who follow low-carbohydrate diets periodically test their urine for ketones to see if fat-burning is indeed taking place. However, people who are losing weight on any diet might have a trace of ketones in their urine since a person who is losing weight is almost certainly burning and losing fat.
With all the talk of ketones, some people have the mistaken impression that ketones are a sort of magic bullet that melt fat from the body, no matter how much a person eats. That`s simply not the case. Ketones are only by-products of the metabolism of fat and are markers that show that you are burning fat. They have no active role in burning fat or weight loss. In fact, ketone levels in people who are on low-carbohydrate diets are just barely above baseline, indicating they have no role in producing weight loss. The reason people lose weight on low-carbohydrate diets is not because of ketones; it`s because they have cut out a large food group from what they eat, and as a result, they end up eating fewer calories.
Another unproven belief about both ketones and low-carbohydrate diets is that they suppress appetite, and that`s why people lose weight. Some scientists believe that the excess fat a person eats while on a low-carbohydrate diet has a satiating effect, causing people to eat less. Other experts believe that an elevated level of ketones causes a decrease in appetite, while still others believe that a high protein intake suppresses appetite. There are some studies in rats to suggest that elevated levels of protein during low-carbohydrate diets can cause a decrease in appetite, but so far, research on the effect of ketones and fat on appetite is inconclusive.
The jury is still out on the long-term safety and effectiveness of diets that are low in carbohydrates for the general population, although some nephrologists link a growing incidence of kidney stones to high-protein diets. (Low-carbohydrate diets tend to be high in protein.) Most diabetes experts, however, agree that a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet is not worth the risk for people with diabetes because they have a high risk of developing kidney disease,and a high protein intake can be stressful on the kidneys in those with kidney disease.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in the United States, accounting for approximately 43% of all Americans who start treatment for kidney failure each year. According to Joslin Diabetes Center, as much as 40% of people with Type 1 diabets and 20% to 30% of people with Type 2 diabetes have some form of kidney disease. You may find it easier to control your blood glucose if you severely restrict your carbohydrate intake, but keep in mind that even in people without kidney disease, no one knows the effects of a high-protein diet on the kidneys over the long term. If you`re considering a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet for weight loss or blood glucose control, check with your doctor or diabetes educato first.
What do my results mean after testing by ketone urine test strips?
You can measure ketones at any time of the day.However, ketone levels tend to vary,being highest in the morning and right after dinner.It is also best to avoid measuring your ketone levels right after exercise because the
numbers you would get then won't represent your mean ketone levels.Being dehydrated,over-hydrated,and taking certain medication(Mesna) can lead to inaccurate results,especially with urine ketone strips.
While individual testing may vary, in general,results for ketone testing are labeled in the following way:
| normal/negative | less than 0.5 millionles per liter(mmol/L) |
| low to moderate | 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L |
| high | 1.6 to 4.0 mmol/L |
| very high | greater than 4.0 mmol/L |
