Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
Ketones are metabolites. Basically, in the absence of or near absence of carbohydrates the body will get its energy from fats, either the stores of body fat or ingested fat. As fat has little to no affect on blood glucose levels then many people adopt a Ketogenic lifestyle to try to put their Type 2 Diabetes into remission.

Also, when you have high blood sugar and ketones, it can be an emergency.
