For most people, the ketones that form as a normal product of fat burning and weight loss are nothing to be concerned about because they are simply burned for energy by the body, and any excess are passed out of the body in the urine.f you are losing weight, you may have a small amount of ketones in your urine. This is OK for people with Type 2 diabetes, as long as their blood glucose level is in a normal range, but people with Type 1 diabetes should check with their doctor.
Glucose is usually used by cells for energy. But, when there's no insulin to help transport it out of the blood and into the cells, the body has an energy crisis and starts to break down body fat into ketones as an alternative fuel source. High levels of ketones in the body can be toxic. High blood glucose levels (over 250 mg/dl) are one sign that the body may have high levels of ketones circulating in the blood. This can progress to a serious complication called diabetic ketoacidosis.
