Gluconeogenesis is active with a ketogenic diet
"Yes, gluconeogenesis (the creation of new glucose) is highly active on a ketogenic diet. Since your carbohydrate intake is drastically reduced, this process is essential to maintain steady blood sugar levels and supply energy to cells that rely entirely on glucose (like red blood cells and parts of the brain)"
