Welcome.
Actually most people who start insulin find it a great relief in that finally they have a tool that really does work to control blood sugar.
I recommend the book Diabetes Solutions by Dr. Richard Bernstein. He also has lectures "Bernstein University" on U-tube that can be accessed.
Low carb, moderate protein, high healthy fats diet is now the first line approach to help manage diabetes and stabilize blood sugars.

Welcome, diabetes does provoke lots of emotions. why do you think you are "brittle" and what does that mean (to you).
We do know that carbohydrates raise BG.... ALL carbs raise BG even whole wheat will raise BG. Reduce carbs need less insulin have less BG swings.
