Well it’s taken me quite a few years to be able to say what I’ve said, and unfortunately there is no quick fix, it’s all down to experience and what works for you and this can only happen with time , almost everyone here will tell you that diabetes is an individual thing what works for one may not work for another , one thing I will say is it does get better with time as you find out what works for you , try to be flexible as being totally rigid things become boring and that leads to frustration ,
