Why You’re Going to Love Your Just Fitter Ketone Test Strip!
You’ve made a smart choice, and here’s why.
Testing ketones are used for various reasons. The top uses are for various diets (ketogenic, paleo, atkins, banting) and for managing type 1 diabetes.
Ketone is a chemical produced when there is a shortage of insulin in the blood and the body breaks down body fat for energy.
Ketones in the urine is a sign that your body is using fat for energy instead of using glucose because not enough insulin is available to use glucose for energy.
Ketones in the urine is more common in type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a condition which is caused by the pancreas inability to produce any or enough insulin needed to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy.
To effectively manage type 1 diabetes, ketones should be kept at a low level to prevent a serious condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis or KDA.
According to Dr. Steve Phinney, MD, Phd, a physician scientist who has spent 35 years studying diet, exercise, fatty acids, and inflammation in an interview with JumpstartMD |Bay Area's Top Medical Weight Loss Program:
“A person with type 1 diabetes who hasn’t gotten insulin for a couple of days, their body goes out of control, they make ketones way out of proportion of what the body can use and they go to ketoacidosis and they develop very high ketones in the blood.
Whereas when you restrict carbohydrate intake which keeps insulin low but not zero, those people develop nutritional ketosis which is only 1/10th as high as ketoacidosis.”
In a nutritional diet, a person will have to achieve ketosis or nutritional ketosis, which will effectively make the body burn fat for fuel instead of sugar from carbohydrates.
The idea is get high ketones if you are trying to achieve ketosis through nutritional dieting but to help manage type 1 diabetes, keep ketones low.
For whatever purpose you have for testing ketones, our Just Fitter Ketone Test Strips will be your best guide with its accurate results in seconds.

How to Get the Best Results When Using Your Just Fitter Ketone Test Strips!
- We suggest to test your Ketones at the first time you urinate right after waking.
- Get a sample of your urine in a clean container. Start collecting the sample mid-stream.
- Dip the strip in the sample for a second. Alternatively, you may pass the strip through the urine mid-stream.
- Shake off any excess urine from the strip.
- Wait 15 seconds.
- Match the colour to the colour chart found in the packaging of the product.
- Remember that when handling the Ketone Test Strips, make sure to hold or touch only the white portion of the strip, which is the part of the strip that sticks out the bottle. Touching or holding the coloured area may compromise the
accuracy of the results.
Note: If you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or suspect to have type 1 diabetes, according the American Diabetes Association (ADA), it is best to test for ketones if you feel nauseated, are vomiting, have abdominal pain, tired all the time, have a very dry mouth, skin is flushed, breath smells “fruity”, or have a hard time breathing.
