As far as I am aware there is no good quality evidence that these have any positive effect at all I’m afraid. That’s why you won’t get them prescribed. Because they aren’t effective.

Keto eating plans can be a successful strategy for some people with T2 (ie eating such a small quantity of carbohydrate, maybe 20-30g of carbs a day, that the body goes into nutritional ketosis). However most T2s seem to do well with more moderate-low carb approaches (maybe 100-120g of carbs a day).

However the ketones involved are not part of a keto diet that you eat. You create them in your body by digesting fat in the absence of carbs. And that allows your body to become keto-adapted. Taking them as a supplement I suspect would just give you expensive wee to flush. :(
 
It is the equivalent of a fake tan, from what I can work out.
