Sometimes my bs is well within range butnive eating a bunch of fat and my body craves insulin ( never thought I'd say that ). I take a little and I feel so much more balanced. Sometimes too much fat doesn't raise my bg but it needs insulin. Always a slippery slope.
Just wan to eat,I d I take 1/2 units. Still drops me without enough time food. Too much fat prolongs it until my insulin runs out. Then I crave fat or insulin. Insulin usually wins. High fat at dinner makes for a higher fasting. Always.
As I hope everyone knows I have T2 diabetes, so please read this blog by reference to that as clearly responses for others may be very different. I have added in a T2 diet tag to make sure its read that way. I apologise for not putting it in the title - I don't seem to be able to do that in retrospect- if admin. can then that would be good .
I do have one question for you - I have never researched injecting insulin because its not something I currently need to do. Have you looked into whether insulin itself is an addictive substance? what you describe sounds very similar to what people first coming off sugars feel on withdrawing sugar.
