Diabetes and urine

The way I understood ketones and diabetes in college was that our body cells use sugar for energy. If there isnt enough insulin in your body then the cells cant break down the sugar. When the cells cant get the energy to your body, it starts to break down fat and when fats get broken down they produce ketones..the ketones show up in your urine by using this little strip that is dipped into a urine specimen. It reacts to if there are ketones in your body by changing the colors on the strip. They can show either trace amounts which are really small amounts, moderate or large amounts. Ketones are really strong acids and they can harm your body. Im pretty sure the urine looks the same, maybe a darker yellow? but I do know that it has a sweet, almost fruity smell that is pretty strong. You’re breath tends to get a fruity, sweet smell as well. If you think that you have this you should definately call a dr and get your urine tested. If it isnt treated it can be really dangerous, or even fatal.
