Doctor's Assessment Included
Every result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Urine Ketones
Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. Small amounts can appear during fasting or a low-carbohydrate diet, while higher levels can have a medical cause.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. When you order a test, a BIG-registered doctor assesses your personal results in context. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Check your own valueWhat It Measures
This part of the dipstick screens for ketones in your urine. The result is read in context: fasting and low-carb diets can raise ketones, but a positive result alongside high glucose is something your GP will want to review.
Lifestyle Tips
Eating regular balanced meals and staying hydrated help keep ketones low. If you are not fasting or on a low-carb diet and ketones are present, discuss the result with your GP.
