Questions people ask
Is this medical advice? Will it replace my doctor's plan?
No. It is education only. It is a companion to the plan you have with your doctor. Talk with your doctor before you change food, activity or medication.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?
It's for adults living with type 2 diabetes who want simple everyday habits and better questions for their doctor. It's not a replacement for medical care, and it doesn't give advice on changing medicines.
What format is it? How do I get it?
Three PDF files. After you order, you get a download link on screen and by email. They open on a phone, tablet or computer.
Can I print it? How large is the print?
Yes. Print all of it or just the pages you want. Body text is 16-point, which is easy to read on paper.
What if I don't like it?
Email [email protected] with your receipt within 30 days and we refund your card. No questions asked.
Is it a diet or meal plan?
No. The recipes are ideas, not a meal plan, and the guide explains the plate method. Ask your doctor or a dietitian how they fit your needs.
Is my payment safe? Do I need an account?
You don't need an account. You pay by card through Stripe, and you type your card details into Stripe's secure, hosted card fields.
How do I contact you?
Email [email protected]. If you have a question about your health, please contact your doctor. In an emergency, call 911.
