[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1643196, member: 380756"] No, your body is not making "energy" from ketones rather than carbs. Whoever told you that is a quack. We call the production of ketone bodies to use as energy in the absence of our making insulin to enable glucose to enter our cells as "DKA" (diabetic ketoacidosis). That eventually ends in death. I'd suggest you see a specialist in diabetes. And forget the garbage about supplements, snake oil, and "stimulants" to make a difference. If you're truly a Type 1 diabetic and you don't take insulin I don't think it's going to turn out very well for you. A so-called "zero carb diet" will not turn out any differently for a true Type 1 diabetic. They used to try that before the administration of exogenous insulin was made available to diabetics. It took longer but it came out the same in the end. [/QUOTE]
