****** news, sure.
I recommend just turning Vegan for a month - watch your sugars/intake drop down loads. Also weight will drop while consuming the best foods known on earth - Vegetables.
As a type 1, I found dairy is the main problem for my sugars. I have spent months/years experimenting with different diets and things which affect sugars and when I was Vegan (I now eat steroid/anti biotic free meat twice a week) a lot more control and a lot healthier, more energy, happier moods.
nothing negative about it at all - apart from the 3 times a day toilet

Don't quite understand all what you're saying, but I do understand you may be in a tizz about it all.

hopefully I've got this bit right though, so whilst you were there your BG level went from 20.9 down to 2.9 - ummmm......if your body isn't working the insulin then how did that happen???!

there is an old one thas "ASSUME makes an ASS of U & ME", leave them to assume an we need to work out the answer. May be the brand of insulin that is causing the problems.
Mine was to shave the carbs from my diet andreplace them with enough healthy fats to stave off hunger.
Weaned me off my 22 basal & 3x 18 bolus!

I think the carbs in your diet are much too high. Give them a break for a couple of weeks and see if your levels stabilise. Are you testing yourself?

Surprising high cals are typically high carbs?

The Calorie level isn't high but the carbs are, what is their reason for this? Honestly I'd cut out or seriously reduce the carbs, by the sound of it you've got nothing to loose.

Constant high levels won't do much for your health.
