Very much common sense and a massive advert to this guy's business. You end up being peppered with emails to sign up for an extremely expensive subscription.

T1D for over a decade, I’ve read all popular books and joined all popular programs out there.

Matt is light years ahead of anyone else. He doesn’t enforce a diet, a lifestyle, a set of rigid rules.

He reversed engineered diabetes down to its First Principles, and the principles and strategies and blueprints he shares really do apply to anyone, any lifestyle, any diet, any thing.

Wish I’d had this book sooner, instead of the generic and ineffective recommendations of my endocrinologist (with all due respect).

My life with T1 has improved so much — I can make sense of blood sugars and actually control them (and I am an endurance athlete who loves to eat).

And I just perform better in life in general.

I consider this book required reading for anyone living with T1 or close to someone with this disease.

i have just read The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula written by Matt Vande Vegte and found it very interesting , informative , helpful and a new slant on controlling blood sugar for Type 1 Diabetics.
The book explains all the pitfalls of spikes and lows of the always changing blood sugar levels.
This man is a book of knowledge when it comes to Diabetes. As a sufferer himself he has done all the hard yards over the years , trials and tribulations to obtain the data and has the answers to obtaining wonderful "time in range " blood sugar numbers on a consistent basis.

This book is a must for people who are Type 1 Diabetic. If you follow his examples you will obtain much better "time in range " figures and also stop the Spikes and lows of your blood sugar readings.

Regards,

Andy Agar.

This book does have a place. For those of us who have lived with t1d for a long time and have taken management seriously, there's nothing new or groundbreaking. But for those new to the disease or who haven't seriously tried to manage it, the information here is necessary and well-presented. There were also times I questioned the author's personal narrative (how much time he really spent studying and experimenting with his own diabetes - it all felt overstated) and parts of the book do read like a marketing strategy for his coaching. In short, it reads like someone with good information, dedicated to the cause, who was coached by an editor interested in maximizing revenue.

I really liked the explanation of the systems behind T1D. Some things I already knew because in Holland my doctors and the diabetes nurse help me very good, but especially the systems behind it all are very good explained. I will recommend is further. While reading (took me a while as English not being my mother language) I just applied a few tips and my TIR did already rise, currently at 88% in stead of 60-70%. I am very pleased with the book (and myself) and hope to try a lot more to get more confidence of myself and the T1D. Thanks!

I'm 26 and I have had T1D for 25 years, so I can tell you that this book takes too many pages to tell you some simple common sense. If you live with T1D long enough (and take it seriously), you will figure all of this out on your own. You don't need this book or any of his over-priced courses. If you have T1D and you want a book that offers amazing results, check out Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspe.

An eye opener

The book is a must read for people with Type 1 Diabetes who want to start a journey to have a deeper understanding of why blood sugar levels do what they do and options to be able to manage diabetes more effectively on your own terms. It is well written with anecdotes by Matt to explain theories. With Matt being a Type 1, he completely understands the frustrations we all experience in our journey to achieve better control and live a full and meaningful life.

[Nick Profijt]

This book illustrates that you can have more control over you Blood Glucose and diabetes, than the traditional medical field lets you to believe. The different methods of managing and manipulating BG, as described in this book, are eye opening and truly unique (although require quite some work and dedication). I highly recommend anyone with T1D to read this book, to enhance their understanding and increase their toolbox for managing this difficult disease.

[JENNY STAVRAKI]

Finally found a book with answers, strategies and solutions to the problems when living with T1 diabetes. Page by page you realise that everything makes sense, and that there are ways to fix all the awkward situations. There is so much valuable information in it!! Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge Matt.

[Caitlin Leveille]

Thought this would be more than his youtube videos - just a big marketing scheme. He really wants you to buy his several thousand dollar program. Giving him money for his book wasn't enough for actually useful information. He promises big and doesn't deliver.

[Kathy Jerome]

This book is a game changer for TYPE 1 DIABETICS such as myself, treating it for 37 years. I encourage any T1D’s to read this and get your blood sugar in the 90 percentile rather quickly! It definitely changed my struggle to control!

[Liz]

Great information for anyone starting on their type 1 journey!

[Emily]

Great helpful info, but a TON of this book is a giant ad for his coaching

[DP]

Disappointing. Did not deliver on what the title promises (actual, useable insulin-dosing formulas). The book was also remarkably repetitive and cliche-laden. Author is better on video.

What Caught my Eye

I was very skeptical about reading this book but it’s titled caught my eye! WOW was I wrong; the author caught my attention right away! I’ve only been a T1D for 7 years, and have learned that its another bump in the road that can be controlled thru the formula the author has laid out in his book “Blood Sugar Freedom Formula”. Great read for those with the disease as well as for those who want a different approach to being able to control it your way
