# Ketones present in urine and blood
Number of ketone increases in the body during the process of ketosis. Reduced levels of insulin results in low level of blood sugar level and high level of ketones in urine and blood. There is a special tool which is used to measure ketosis in blood. To check the amount of ketone levels in the blood, beta-hydroxybutyrate is measured, it is a ketone form found in blood. It is the most accurate way to check on ketosis.
Urine test can also be done to check the presence of ketones. Indicator strips or keto strips can help to measure the amount of ketones.
