Good start.

The main thing to keep in mind is that you are being overwhelmed with information at this point but as you relax and grow more accustomed to the situation you will understand and come to feel more comfortable.

You and the Dr. are at a stage where you are feeling your way around to grasp where you are and what works for you. Controlling Diabetes is as much art as it is science.
Patience is one of the key mantras that Diabetics have to incorporate into their lives.

As for cutting back on Carbs and insulin--right now that probably is not a good thing. Again, you and the Dr. have to establish a base line from where you will then begin controlling your insulin, carbs and life. BUT-- you have to establish a baseline and work from there.
