Q: type 1 diabetes, started southbeach diet 3 days ago. past 24 hrs high ketones/normal bs?

I have had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. I also use a pump. I started the south beach diet 3 days ago. 2 days ago i was feeling ill so i checked my ketones and they were high, bs was 335. my pump had come unattatched. i gave an insulin correction, brought my bs back down to normal, but i have had moderate-high ketones ever since. i feel fine though. great even. should i be concerned about the ketones.? usually when i have even a hint of ketones i am completely miserable.
