@mortigger1968 - as you can see you've started quite a lively debate here.
There is often more than one way to skin a cat, but your issue is a bit tricky, is say. Nobody has, so far, asked if you are healthy, aside from your T2? Do you have any other health conditions that could be impacting things? Some conditions, and some medications can affect blood glucose numbers.
Moving on.
You are on fixed doses of insulin, and that is a real concern. Changing your diet, whether trimming some of what you usually say out, or more radical, you must, must, in my view, have a supported plan of what you do if your blood sugars behave unexpectedly, or indeed trend up or down.
Your Endo wants those numbers down (and I bet you do too!), but if you do it too well and end up with badly mismatched insulin doses it could be uncomfortab, at best, and dangerous at worst.
I urge you to discuss learning to use your insulin more flexibly. That will involve carb counting and dosing accordingly. Then, decide which tactic you want to adopt, then discuss that with your health care team too, so that you feel supported and have adequate supplies to hand. By that I'm thinking about test strips. If you are changing what you eat, you will likely end to up your testing significantly to learn what's actually going on here.
