Has anyone experienced this and found a way out?

I've had plenty of brain fog from low blood sugar but not from insulin in itself. (I use lantus and humalog)

I tried humulin by itself briefly and found the issues worse I have never tried humiln with lantus Eating more carbs helps a bit but the end result is a higher A1C . Endocrinologist claims I shouldn't have to eat more carbs and should not have mental side effects like I do. I will be throwing it back in his court..possibly changing Dr to get a different outlook. I am thinking of a type1 type 2 combo thanx!
