The AI response wasn't bad actually. Finding how much and when my body was responding to food,fluids,meds snd excersizing was all new to me. I invested in 2 months of libre monitors ( "continuous Blood sugar monitors) and tried my "normal " schedule , different foods , normal/different excersizes etc... the management was easier.

Excersizing, diet , making your food choices easier at home by not buying ... stuffs... all helped me significantly. There was no silver bullet ;)
