blood ketone testing
Blood ketone testing is a simple and accurate method to measure the level of ketones, a type of molecule produced when the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. It involves using a small device to draw a small amount of blood, typically from the finger, and then analyzing the sample to determine the concentration of ketones. This testing method is often used by people following ketogenic diets or managing conditions like diabetes to monitor their ketone levels and ensure proper metabolic health.
