I think my comments were mis-understood. I was struck by the combination of a high HBA1c and lots of lows. It looked very familiar! And I related this to my own experience. Too many highs were being chased down with insulin and turning into hypos. The only way to break the cycle was to get rid of the highs by cutting carbs. The result was that major corrections were no longer required. So the hypos simply stopped happening.
So, yes, in answer to your question, I have suffered a lot of lows. After living with the problem for many years, I sorted it out with a technique is that is elegant in it's simplicity. Insulin was reduced in the process. But the main driver in preventing hypos was cutting carbs.
