I just started checking my ketones this week.  Kind of stupid question...I get up at like 3 am to use the bathroom then go again at 6-7 am.  Which one should I check my ketones on? 

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Val-

I don't think it's a stupid question at all!  I never had to check my ketones, so I don't know the answer.  Hopefully someone else here will be able to help.  You could also call your doctor for clarification. 

Good luck!

I check my ketones with my fasting glucose around 7am. 6-7 am should be about right, especially if you have a snack before bedtime. Also you can check them during the day if you feel you are having symptoms or get a high reading.

Thanks everyone!  I have been testing the 6-7am one and so far all negative!  Doctor is happy with my progress so far.
