Here is a link to a review:

Seems like the app gives you a score every time you get a rise in blood sugar and the lower the 'spike' the better the score. So the goal is to avoid spikes.

The arctic air side of Jet stream seems to go way down south. Possibly no snow for Christmas. I can live with that but Canada (with the exception of our semi-tropical paradise) without snow is like Hell without fire.]]> 11721 Low Carbers--What did you eat?
