Most people test for ketones if blood sugar is above 250.
Readings below 0.6 mmol/L ~ Normal Range
Readings 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L ~ Indicate the development of a problem that may require medical assistance. Follow your doctors recommendations.
Readings Above 1.5 mmol/L ~ Indicate high risk of DKA. Follow your doctors recommendations.
My diabetic nurse told me most type 1 do not test their ketones. Having had dka more then i care too remember I always test and keep them handy. It does not take that long too test and gives you peace of mind.
