I lost loads of weight that I didn't need or want too. I was also eating as much food as I could ( not carbs though as I couldn't handle them) and still lost weight. I was waking up early to get another whole meal in. It was explained to me that it didn't matter how much I ate, that without insulin the bs nutrients weren't getting into my cells and my body was feeding off itself, not my food. Immediately after starting insulin I gained my weight back and it stopped right where it left off. As for your insulin causing hypos perhaps you were taking too much for your small meals. As I said, I take 1/2-1 per meal. However I also eat a high healthy fat diet, moderate protein and very low carb.  When I did eat carbs I would drop then spike.
