Hi @kevin O and welcome to the DCUK forums.
I've done a forum search and can't see a mention, so I suspect the current answer is no.
I've looked them up. It's an interesting company but I have no idea whether the product works and more importantly, whether it is safe.
It looks like a relatively new product and though there are some scientific studies, they seem really small, so not sure whether they would pick up any adverse side effects. (Trustpilot has 66 reviews with one person with autoimmune issues reporting a severe side effect but as that is only one person it's very hard to say how much (if any) credence you should put on it.)

They don't have or need FDA approval because it's registered as a food not a medicine. Looks like they are working to get some sort of approval (for a device?) in Europe?

I'll be honest, their sales pitch on their product landing page reads like snake oil to me, but the studies (mostly on mice) appear real, and the flagship SHINE study is 300 people. But I am failing to find the actual results of the SHINE trial anywhere, just summaries from press releases which says it causes significant hba1c reduction? (How much is signficant? )
I would be very suspicious of trusting any AI reviews on the product because they will just trawl through the text on the web, which is mostly put out by the company.... (Just a heads up, forum rules don't allow us to post AI content anyway, even if we do trust it.)
Good luck with your research. I'm failing to find anything out there that isn't directly or indirectly from the company.
My personal view with such things is that if they work, you need some proper safety studies at the very least.

Agree with the above - I'm totally unconvinced. They seem very shy about telling you exactly what's in it - seems to be some form of silicate. I simply don't understand what "...a technology based on mesoporous silica particle (MSP) – a colloidal amorphous silicon dioxide matrix.." might be or how it actually might work.
I'm also a bit concerned about their lines about dietary fat affecting your BG "...negating the direct glucose impact of high fat and sugar foods" - dietary fat doesn't of itself affect BG levels, so why do they claim it does?
A study on 300 people for this sort of thing is a small study. They claim "...Carb Fence’s ability to induce a 0.9 mmol/mol reduction within three months..." which is well inside HbA1c testing inaccuracy.
