Because in this study they were all Type 2 diabetics. With high blood sugars, and a relative lack of insulin sensitivity, there's some risk (probably small) of ketoacidosis. The combination of high blood sugar, and a 'relative' insulin deficiency is what does it. Doesn't apply in 'normal' folks.

But these were diabetics, after all.
