It's like when people try to lose weight. The basic is, consume less then you spend on exercise. You could try Atkins, GI, LCHF and all the "programs" there is. What you end up with is the same basic principle, I try to apply the same with my diabetes. But instead of following a schedule or program, I listen to my body and make the changes accordingly. I'm sure this course helps a bunch of people, and if you live in the US and try to cut costs for insulin and such it might be an even better idea. But, as I live in a country with free medical and my insulin intake is not through the roof (around 30 units a day in total) I can't see what I would benefit from this program. And as all study shows, it's hard to keep programs such as GI, Atkins, and DAFNE if you don't change everything about your lifestyle to comply. I have T1, I'm not going to let it rule my day or life.
