Hi . . .
From the below site you can download an e-book "Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes".
http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/
It's co-authored by Ellen Davis (a nutritionist; she runs the website) and Keith Runyan (a Doctor, who is Type 1 Diabetic and uses Ketogenic Diet to manage it).
It's not free, and so far not available as a printed book. But I have found it very interesting. It has confirmed for me many things that I have noticed during my 3 years so far on the diet. It's been reassuring to read these things, as stated by a Doctor as well as a fellow T1 Diabetic. It has enabled me to feel much more confident when discussing dietary issues with my own Doctors, who are generally very negative or lacking in knowledge (often both) about the diet.
Regards
Antony

Jenny Ruhl offers some inspiring advice and storytelling, but if you want to be taken seriously, I would never try to pass her work off as legitimate research. I'm not saying her words aren't valuable, but she's the diabetic equivalent of Tony Robbins.
I suppose it depends on how you plan to use this information, but I certainly wouldn't ever present it as evidence in a discussion.

Is ketosis dangerous?

You may have heard from your doctor that ketosis is a life-threatening condition. If so, your doctor is confusing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with nutritional ketosis, or keto-adaptation. First, some semantics. Our body can produce, from fat and some amino acids, three ketone bodies (a “ketone” refers the chemical structure where oxygen is double-bonded to carbon sandwiched between at least 2 other carbons). These ketone bodies we produce are: acetone, acetoacetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate (B-OHB). [For anyone who is interested, they are the 3 most right structures on the figure, below.]

Jenny Ruhl's stuff is also focussed on T2s as a rule.
As Diakat says, there are effectively no RCT type studies that properly assess this type of diet in association with T1. There is only anecdotal evidence, as put forward by @diamondnostril. Having said that, if you look at what people were fed prior to insulin, it wasn't far off what we consider ketogenic today.

Hi . . .
There is a book available called "Principia Ketogenica". This is an index of all scientific literature regarding Low-Carbohydrate diets and Ketosis. The book gives a summary paragraph from the result of each study, then the details where the study can be found (book, paper, online, etc). A most useful resource, I think, for people interested in making their own research.
Pages 146 - 161 are specifically for Diabetes studies, the majority being Type 2, some Type 1. Other chapters deal with studies for other conditions.
(Apologies @vxrich, I should have given this info in my original reply!)
