That must have been very difficult.
As regards your current levels, the first thing to ensure is whether your basal amounts are right. In theory, if your basal is right, you should not need to inject at all apart from when you are eating. In practice, you'll probably need to inject a few correction doses as well.
So, in theory, if your basal is right, you'd go to bed at one level and wake up at roughly the same, assuming
a) that your bolus insulin is out of your system by the time you go to bed
b) that your carbs from your evening meal are out of your system by the time you go to bed.
Once your basal is right you can work out whether your carb ratio is right. In theory, as a T1 you can inject for your carbs, though if, like me, you are quite insulin resistant and prone to weight gain (in my case, thanks T2 dad) you may want to keep your carbs down. But plenty of T1s do eat high carb diets, it just depends on your own personal metabolism. Do you have any idea as to your current carb ratio? (Be aware that basal doses and carb ratios can vary with exercise, stress, illness, time of year, and, according to some, what colour socks you are wearing.

The other question is how often are you testing? I personally found that my control went to <insert favourite word for bad places here> whenever I didn't test much, and improved whenever I tested more, but that may or may not be the case for you. And now that cgms are available it's possible that your clinic will help you out if more testing will help you get control.
You can get 95% or 99% chocolate which has almost zero carbs and is hard to eat in large quantities.

Do you like things like tuna, ham, eggs, salad? Avocadoes? Plenty of low carb snacks if you google keto snacks.....
