Does Marijuana Affect Ketone Test Results?

If I smoke marijuana will it effect my ketone results when I do the test strip in the morning. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have had to start testing for ketones and the two days I ve done the test I ve been spilling large amounts. I dont smoke much just s couple hits before bed to help me sleep and ease my back pain.

it isn't recommended in pregnancy and could easily put you in trouble with child protective services. it shouldn't affect ketones though,
