Reliable information on the self–management of diabetes

Keeping diabetes under control requires daily self-management whatever the stage the condition has reached. We need to understand what is likely to change our blood sugar levels and how this can vary during the day and night. Everyone with Diabetes seems slightly different in their body’s blood sugar level responses to exercise and food… any guidance has to be tested for its effects on me, personally, rather than just taking guidance from the literature.
