Overview
Ketones are organic compounds produced during the breakdown of fats in the liver. Elevated ketone levels, such as during fasting or low-carbohydrate diets, signify a shift to ketosis, a metabolic state where the body uses ketones as an alternative energy source. Monitoring ketones is crucial for managing conditions like diabetes and ketogenic diets. It can indicate uncontrolled diabetes or starvation, but a more comprehensive test is needed for diagnosis.
