They don't give you any actual food, nor testing in a lab by scientists as to your specific needs or type of diabetes (even among Type 2s, there is much variation).

Among the hilarities here: Virta costs $400 a month. (Even if your insurance is paying for most of it....somebody is still paying.)

It claims to save $14,000 in medical costs over 10 years.

But $400 a month is $4800 a year, for 10 years that is $48,000 total!

And that assumes they NEVER raise their prices in 10 years.
