First of all, Are you diabetic asking this?
Ketone's form when your body is buring fat for energy instead of carbohydrate other forms of sugar - ie - gluclose.
In diabetics these can - and usually - occur under the circumstances in which the diabetic is not getting enough insulin, blood sugars are high, sicknesses - some people get morning ketones, where they just appear in the morning. There are pretty much a number of reasons why ketone's form.
This is the very condensed definition - or reason - for ketones. You can search this site, however, and get a LOT more information.
