I hear the best way to monitor ketones is through blood monitor. It's something I want to monitor to see how my levels are affected after eating certain foods but it's not a must. I am saving up for it because I want to use the monitor that also checks glucose levels. https://www.amazon.com/Care-Touch-Ketone-Testing-Kit/dp/B076VRLBWK
If you are feeling great and feel energized that's what matters the most! KCKO! :D

Keep in mind that ketones and blood glucose are also circadian. So measurements in the morning will show higher blood glucose even if you are fasted.
From an old post:
Happy to hear about your weight lose! Statins come with risk/side effects and really should be taken as a last resort. Frankly doctors like yours who so friviously throw drugs at problems piss me off.
LDL-C is not a direct measurement, but is estimated from HDL, Total Cholesterol and Triglyceride measurements. To get a direct measuremnt of LDL in your blood you need to take an advanced lipid panel test to measurw LDL-P. This will provide you with a measurement of LDL particle sizes. Why this matters is because small LDL particles increase your risk of heart disease while large LDL particles do not.
LDL particles are the only transportation mechanism in the body for lipids (fat). When you are on a high fat diet (or do IF) you while have more LDL particles, which all contain cholesterol, and hence a higher LDL-C - this tells you very little. Small LDL particles are recycled to liver via HDL, so it is not good that you have low HDL - this is a better indicator of heart disease risk.
On top all of this the LDL-C measurements can be screwed up just by what you ate a day or two leading up to the test. You can get a very low LDL-C by overeating a 24/7 high carb diet 3 days before your blood draw.
Weight loss also really screws up LDL-C readings. You need to be stable for a couple months to get a good reading.
I would also get a test your C-reactive protien levels. This is a marker of inflammation and a much better marker foe heart disease risk. You want a low c-reactive protien levels.
Honestly I would never go on a statin without knowing for sure there was an issue and hands down a calcium scan of the heart will 100% tell you if there is a problem.
I studied this extensively when I got high LDL-C reading.
