Acetone and ketone body accumulation should be expected whenever there is an increased energy demand with decreasing glucose burning (intake).
In non-diabetic patients, so-called starvation glucose deficiency (low blood glucose) e.g.: vomiting child, paleo-ketogenic diet, zero-calorie weight loss diet.
In diabetics, relative or absolute insulin deficiency leads to reduced glucose breakdown, increased fat burning and consequent acetonemia or ketoacidosis.
In many cases, especially in adolescents, there is a current-transitory overproduction of the so-called contrapotropic (stress, thyroid, growth) hormones.
