    The different types of ketone testing strips can vary somewhat from one another. Some strips require you to catch a urine sample in a clean container; others can be placed directly in your urine stream. The amount of time required to obtain a reading, the colors that register on the strip, and the ketone values that correspond to each color reading may also vary by strip type. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about the ketone testing strips you are using.
