Trueplus® Ketone Test Strips – Ideal for Low-Carb Dieters– Made in Usa–Urinalysis Test Sticks (100)

KETONES

In the body, carbohydrates are converted to glucose. Glucose is the body’s primary source of energy. Insulin is needed to help process glucose in blood to supply the body with energy. When blood glucose is not available for energy, the body will use fat stores to produce ketones for energy. Excess ketones are discarded in urine.

LOW-CARB DIETERS- KETO PALEO ATKINS

For low carbohydrate dieters who are not diabetic, low intake of complex carbohydrates and sugars promotes use of ketones from fat stores rather than blood glucose as the primary source of energy for the body. When this occurs, the body produces a steady state of ketones (ketosis).

PEOPLE WITH DIABETES

For diabetics, a lack of sufficient insulin prevents the body from using blood glucose properly. Without enough glucose for energy, the body produces ketones from fat and muscle for energy (ketoacidosis), and blood glucose levels remain high. When blood glucose levels remain high, health risks increase. (This product is not for the management of diabetes.)
