It is isn't bullshit. There is a real risk of going into a diabetic coma because of ketoacidosis. A person that is diligent can still go on the diet. They need to monitor their blood sugar levels and test their ketone levels frequently. For a person like Jack, that makes being lazy a core part of his identity, that kind of commitment isn't very likely.
Eh...for people with type 1 diabetes, the keto diet isn't recommended, basically for the reasons you stated, but let's be real: Jack doesn't have type 1. There have been several studies showing that ketoacidosis reduced the overall need for insulin injections. I do agree, however, that Jack would be too lazy to monitor his levels and he'd end up killing himself. (Faster than he's already doing).
