I have heard the pee strip test can provide a lot of false positives and false negs. Also, there are three types of ketone bodies and the pee test only detects one of the two kinds that combined make up only 20% of the ketone types produced. I don't remember the name of the third kind, but when your body is making ketones, 80% are the third kind, that the pee test doesn't detect.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a blood meter either. I have decided that if I feel energetic, level, and have 50g or fewer carbs a day, I am doing fine.
What was tour strip reading?
