Every clinical biochemistry lab is filled with technicians measuring blood
glucose levels to
monitor diabetes, urea concentrations in
urine to spot kidney failure, and dozens of others.

urine, or blood sample, equivalent to the amount required by blood
glucose monitors to test blood sugar levels, the sample is applied to the sensors, triggering a response that provides visually evident results in as little as an hour.

Also, to mention the Atkins diet, in the book I read, the diet begins with a two week very low carb diet [20 grams of carbo perday] in order to transition the body into a state of nutritional ketosis, using ketones not
glucose / insulin for energy generation; however, it is not intended to be a permanent such state but rather for the dieter to gradually add in carbs; however, is one added in only up to the limit, which varies from person to person, of carbs to just below the lvel that would transition out of ketosis, then Atkins would work with that in mind and requiring
