[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1764821, member: 93179"] Most accurate way is testing blood ketones with test strips which tend to be very expensive, and you need a suitable meter too. Least accurate (and possibly messiest!) but cheapest way is with wee sticks (e.g. Ketostix) as that tends to be simply a test of waste ketones - and I found when I was using ketones - rather than simply producing them - I no longer got any indication via my urine. Cheapest way long term but high initial outlay is probably a Ketonix breath test gadget as you buy it then can test as many times as you like without any extra outlay. But I believe you can also get cheaper gadgets for ketone breath tesiting similar to the alcohol breath test meters now though. It may depend on what you iwant the information for? Robbity [/QUOTE]
