Has anybody had success or recommend meal replacement drinks?

I am relatively new to diabetes and find that managing a diet and an active lifestyle to be exhausting. In fact, I would love if I could just subscribe to a meal planning service without having to thoroughly dissect the nutritional information on every ingredient.

I have enjoyed supplementing my meals and snacks with shakes/drinks because it takes a lot of the thought out of it.

Is this something to consider for long-term success? Are there any brands you recommend? DIY Soylent is an interesting site I found that helps you to build your own meal replacement drinks and connect with other people and their recipes.
