Reduce your insulin or eat a little more. And don't test so much. There is really no need to test so often. Test before you eat and two hours after.2 hours after your BG should be 11.0-12.0. That's where I used to make a mistake..I would start panic that it's too high..but it's really not, because after 2 hours insulin still works ( it works for 3 hours, sometimes even longer). Even if your BG is higher then 12.0 , still don't panic. It seems you are sensitive to insulin so even if it's 15.0 i would not take more insulin, i would wait another hour, then i would test again..And i would remember this and next meal time i would eat a little less or take more insulin.If after 2 hours your BG is less then 10.0 you will probably need to eat something more to prevent going low. Have an apple or a very small chocolate or  2 biscuits or tea with some sugar and it will be really enough.Anyways, u will get there. We all went through the same like you.  Keep calm<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
