You will need to try to keep to certain food that is ok for your body... and the only way through this is really by you experimenting on the advised foods.... but dont believe everything dietitian says...we are all different, some can manage some foods, some cant...

More important to findlittle foods that you can eat...
Are you also on bolus injections for food?
An insulin pump would be better as this means if you are sick you could turn the pump off temporalily so more insulin doesnt get in you...
Orif you go up high ypu can put on a temporary basal rate or extra bolus...
For pumps thoughypu must have good carbcounting skills and willingness to commit.
You need to keep very exact diaries of insulin, food, reactons, day activities, meds etc. Veryimplrtant...
