Haven't used it, but IMHO ---
How the Glycemic Index (GI) effects each us is not a given. 
GI numbers are not cast in concrete, but an average of testing done with a  
group of individuals.
Only you can know if this product effects your body differently than other  
sweeteners such as sugar, etc.
 
The only way to assess if this product is better for you than others is to  
test your blood-glucose (bg) before & after eating the cooked item made with  
both the old & new type of sweetener. I'm assuming you're diabetic.
Since this will undoubtedly be used in some kind of food that's  
carby/starchy, testing at 1 & 2 hours after eating should give you  sufficient data to see 
a difference. 
But I'd recommend doing the test a couple of times to get past the normal  
built-in errors possible with bg testers. 
 
Manufacturer claims can be, lets say "optomistic"!
Unfortunately there are food-products out there that are making claims  based 
on the GI that may or may not be true.
Bottom line is "I don't care what the manufacturer claims", I need to know  
how things effect "my body".
Test & see.

>>> Recently, I bought a bottle of Organic Blue Agave  Syrup, a low glycemic 
organic sweetener.  It claims it has less influence  on blood sugar than other 
sweeteners.  Has anyone ever used this product  successfully? I'd like to use 
it in place of processed sugars in baking breads  and desserts.  I've 
included their website address and would like your  opinion of this product.  Thanks.
