Subjects of clinical trials with KD interventions are supposed to monitor compliance with the dietary regimen by daily urine testing for ketosis. But does anyone know at what time of the day ketosis is best detected in urine or know articles investigating this issue?
I could only find 2 articles recommending to the probands a precise time of the day for daily measurement of ketone bodies in urine: 8:00 (Klement et al. 2013) and afternoon (Sharman et al. 2002).
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Paul

Dear Paul Urbain,
Using ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carbohydrate) is recommended by some scientists in epilepsy, that my reduce seizures. For children whose seizures have not responded to several different seizure medicines. The typical ketogenic diet, called the "long-chain triglyceride diet," provides 3 to 4 grams of fat for every 1 gram of carbohydrate and protein. So when can ketones be measured, in the morning as it indicate to the metabolic process overnight. Also afternoon that indicate to the utmost of ketones during activity time in a day. Both are right.
Best regards
