Question 1

why is ketone allowed in the workplace?

Accepted Answer

Who is Ketone?: Self testing for ketones in the urine in the workplace is a reasonable accommodation for people with diabetes to determine if their blood sugars are so far out of control that they may slip into ketoacidosis.

Question 2

why are ketone bodies produced?

Accepted Answer

Lack of carbs: Glucose is the normal fuel for the body.  If there is inadequate glucose (derived from the breakdown of carbohydrate) or if in the case of diabetes the glucose can't get into the cell due to Insulin lack/dysfunction the body will then burn fat and/or protein to make glucose.  This results in the build up of ketones.

Question 3

can you eat ketones for energy?

Accepted Answer

Ketones Not Edible: Ketones are chemicals in the blood and urine that come from the breakdown of fat or when there is no insulin around. You cannot go to the supermarket and buy "ketones." Some people experience more energy when they exercise and burn ketones, often because their blood sugar is lower.

Question 4

why are ketone bodies dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Ketone bodies: Elevated ketones may be associated with Diabetes.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter: What matters is that they have absolutely no benefit for any medical problem. The only thing that will lose weight is your wallet. Try diet/exercise instead.

Question 6

what are the results of using raspberry ketones?

Accepted Answer

Benefits maybe/not?: Raspberry ketone is a chemical from red raspberries that is thought to help for weight loss. Some research in animals or in test tubes shows that it might increase some measures of metabolism. It might also affect a hormone in the body called adiponectin. However, it is important to keep in mind that there is no reliable scientific evidence that it improves weight loss when taken by people.

Question 7

what does it mean to have ketones in your urine?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: It is generally a sign of dehydration. If you have diabetes, it can be a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis (too high a sugar level). It can be present in alcoholics with poor nutrition recently (alcoholic keto-acidosis)  and in people who have not eaten lately (starvation keto-acidosis).

Question 9

what can cause trace amounts of ketones in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Fat breakdown: A common cause of ketone production (ketosis) is fatty acid breakdown. When the body utilizes fats for energy, ketones result and some enter into the urine for excretion. A larger amount of ketones in the urine can occur in starvation, diabetes, and other conditions in which fat and fatty acid breakdown is occuring at a more substantial pace than in the normal metabolic state.

Question 10

is it possible to develop ketones if you take insulin?

Accepted Answer

Fasting ketones: Ketones can often be found in the urine if you are fasting. It is a sign that your liver has used up its glycogen and your gluconeogenesis is kicking in.  This can occur in anyone, including a diabetic taking insulin.
