Ketosis is a pretty weird state brought on by lack of carbohydrates. The liver starts producing ketones, ketones rapidly breakdown fat cells to boost blood sugar.
It is mostly unrelated to diabetes as that relates to insulin response.

Ketosis can occur as a result of low insulin (in which case blood sugar will be high). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Mechanism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis#Mechanism http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/ketosis.html http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/ketosis.html
