[QUOTE="polina_london, post: 1517081, member: 422219"] ++ is not low, on the scale, where "-" is negative (not found), +/- - traces, and then it goes +, ++ (one I've got), +++ and ++++ being the highest. So having ++ is definitely not good, but I wouldn't risk even having a traces. As far as I understand, ketonuria is diagnosed when there is ANY amount of ketones is found. Because normally, in a healthy human urine ketones are simply undetectable. btw those strips are pretty dependable, I've tested them on my other family members - all had negative results same day I had a positive one. Also I've seen that day how gradually ketones are leaving my body, where I saw + around a lunchtime, then traces, and then finally negative in the evening. I think fat contributed a lot to that ++ reading I had. Day before I had a rib-eye steak, single cream, nuts, etc.. lots of fats and proteins. [/QUOTE]
