Tried Bernstein's small numbers?
Fewer carbs, less insulin, less variability?

As much as I have no beef with Dr B's solution.
In the real world using insulin. & balancing a job & life.
The "slin" don't always play ball either way. & believe me, I can do a whole day fasting. & i'm on some relatively low shot numbers.
To be fair, I can predict the fixes. Even the stress getting behind the wheel of my works truck can shoot me up as if I had slyly necked a 10g biscuit. That's with nill by mouth for breakfast. ;)

Come out on some jobs with me for a week, or to a gig as I'm going hypo when my basal should actually be tailing off? & I'll let you study my CGM. :) (You can't get smaller numbers than that.)

Some days it's "easier said.."

That'll be the "all women must go on the pill" approach.
Any doc who disregards the hormones of half the population is of no interest.

Don't recall ever saying it wasn't.. however if the OP had never heard of it, it may be a path they would lie to follow?
Or at least do some research on?

Sorry to see you're rocking the full spectrum.

What insulin/s are you prescribed?
When did you last see your diabetes consultant?
