ketogenic diet is what is revolutionizing life with diabetes, by, you know, curing it (not type 1 though).
automating the process of releasing a chemical that is roughly speaking the cause of the disease is hardly revolutionary.

I looked into it for my daughter when she was first diagnosed but had a hard time differentiating fact from keto evangelizing and medical community hand wringing.
it is frustrating indeed that keto is being appropriated by fad evangelists. it's a diet that needs lots of reading and preparation.
i'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me that a diet that reduces the need for insulin should also help managing t1d, but obviously it's better to consult a professional.
Common sense in this case turned into potentially dangerous unqualified medical advice.
Now I just do a lot of strength training which ensures my muscles are almost always in a state of glycogen deficit. In that state they can absorb glucose from blood without any insulin which makes having normal blood glucose levels easy even when eating all the carbs (so I can eat truly normally and without the digestion issues). My hb1ac tests are the same as they were when using keto diet (healthy person values, not diabetic values).
I don't see the point of going keto, but reducing carbohydrates to a very low amount simplifies therapy a lot. Now I eat carbohydrates in the evening only.
I don't know what I'll do once I actually do need to go on insulin.
