Most diabetics will have a pretty good idea! If you're looking for general information, maybe try the diabetes dept of your local hospital.

Te way I do it is:
1) Know my present body situation
2) Learn what the problem is
3) learn how to minimize harmful side and maximize benificial side.
4) try the experiment
5) find result
6) repeat analysis ad infinitum.

Are you by any chance referring to this?
Eating mindfully, or consuming food in response to physical cues of hunger and fullness, is just as effective as adhering to nutrition-based guidelines in reducing weight and blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests.

Mindfulness can be incredibly helpful! We did a Q&A a while ago with Mindfulness expert Dav Panesar about how it can be helpful for people with diabetes. You can find that here:

Thanks for replies - Giverny - checking out. I notice people think I'm referring to everyday common sense mindfullness!, but this goes beyond that, I think most people with diabetes have times when mindfullness becomes difficult!

Back on the waggon most of time now - eating properly is definitely a mind set

This video explains exactly what 'Meditation' is, and what it is not!

I have been practicing meditation for over half a century and this video is a great introduction.

If any of you have any questions about meditation please feel free to contact me.
I speak from experience, having been teaching meditation and it's benifits for quite some time.
