As a preventative, ketones might be more than glucose / ketone flexibility, or alternate fuel.

Check this article out - outlines a possible new mechanism on how generating ketones can help detox methylglyoxal (the bad stuff) from blood sugar.

The body's own fat-metabolism protects against the harmful effects of sugar
The newly discovered process involves one type of metabolite, the ketone acetoacetate, which originates from the body's fat-metabolism, capturing and inhibiting another type of metabolite, methylglyoxal, which originates from the body's sugar metabolism.
