I dont understand what ketones are...

I am confused on ketones. what exactly are they and how do you know they are there. all i know is that it has to do with urine. i have noticed that sometimes my urine is darker, sometimes lighter, based on the amount of liquids that i have drank. Is there any other way that doesnt involve using the ketone strips to find out?

when i was diagnosed, the doc said i had a little ketones, but havent done ketone strips or anything since, and i dont really want to. is there an obvious way of detecting it? do glucose numbers have anything to do with them? i am mostly within a very good a1c range...
