The Blood Ketone test is a vital diagnostic tool used to measure the level of ketones (specifically Beta-Hydroxybutyrate) in your blood. Ketones are chemicals that the body creates when it breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. While common in low-carb diets, high levels of ketones in diabetics can lead to a life-threatening condition called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). This blood test is far more accurate and provides real-time results compared to urine strips. 🩸
