When I want to put on weight I eat extra carbs and adjust my insulin accordingly. I find I need to do this consistently day after day to put on weight. I spread my carbs over the day, including two snacks which I bolus for. I also up my fat intake along with that. I found it helped to use My Fitness Pal or similar as then you can see what you're eating rather than relying on memory. I know most people use it to lose weight but I found it helpful to gain weight too.You mention highs and lows. If you can get your control smoother that might help your emotional health too. I find swinging blood sugars make me feel cr*p physically and mentally. Have you tried bolusing further in advance to help stop spikes? Just try to make gradual improvements - you can't do everything at once.Don't let other people make you feel bad. I know it's easy to say Ignore Them, but remember they don't give you your worth. Have confidence in yourself. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Best of luck X</blockquote>
