Default question about ketosis

Doreen, you probably would know this:
Is Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution supposed to be a ketogenic diet? He does not focus on ketosis, but it seems that with an upper limit of 30g carbs per day, it would be...however, I was wondering if the fact that some of us still need to inject insulin with this WOE would maybe prevent ketosis from happening. I can test my urine for ketones, but I am not to the point of perfect control yet where I can be sure they are the good ones (and not the bad ones from high blood sugar. I think I still go high in the night sometims, and I don't know how long ketones stay in your body after they are produced).
I definitely don't FEEL like I am getting the benefits of ketosis that many people describe--the energy, clear-thinking, loss of appetite, etc. I feel tired and hungry most of the time still. I'm kind of discouraged.
