Published, peer-reviewed research has shown that the Low Carb Program is successful in achieving glycaemic control, weight loss and reducing hypoglycaemic medications. In 2018, it was approved into the NHS Apps Library. The platform has a CE Mark and is  registered with the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

It has also gained QISMET approval so it can be prescribed on the NHS. More than 440,000 people have joined the Low Carb Program since it was launched on World Diabetes Day in November 2015.
