People who follow/followed the Adkins diet were advised to monitor ketone levels. Ketones are byproduct of burning glucose stores in fat and in the liver. Anyone can get them, diabetes or not, some are just at greater risk than others. I realize that Low-carb is not the same as No-Carb, but the risk is still there.
Even as a T1, I've never been prone to get them, even when high, sick, or both. At most I'd get "trace" amounts. My sister can get large amounts of them even with a common cold.
