glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes

The β-Ketone test measures Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), the most
important of the three β-Ketone bodies in the blood. Normally, levels of
β-OHB are expected to be less than 0.6 mmol/L.
β-OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises vigorously or has
diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone result is "Lo", repeat the
β-Ketone test with new test strips. If the same message appears again
or the result does not reflect how you feel, contact your healthcare
professional. Follow your healthcare professional's advice before you
make any changes to your diabetes medication programme. If your
β-Ketone result is between 0.6 and 1.5 mmol/L, this may indicate
development of a problem that could require medical assistance. Follow
your healthcare professional's instructions. If your β-Ketone result is
higher than 1.5 mmol/L, contact your healthcare professional promptly
for advice and assistance. You may be at risk of developing diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA).
