The amount of ketones in the urine starts increasing which starts breaking down the body's energy backup i.e. fat and protein cells. Diabetes patients need to eliminate this problem. Due to which there is a deficiency of fat and protein in the body. Insulin decreases in this. Type-1 diabetes patients are at risk of developing ketonuria due to lack of insulin.
When does Kintos level increase?
Prolonged starvation, undereating, reduced intake of fat, carbohydrates, starch and glucose in the body often leads to an increase in ketones in the urine, especially during pregnancy or fasting. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause ketonuria. In type 1 diabetes, the body produces too little insulin. This causes the body to break down proteins and form ketones.
