If you were previously controlling your BG well while on the same diet, then I doubt you need to give anything up. Have you tried opening a new bottle of insulin? Insulin doesn't often go bad on me, but when it does, it feels like I'm injecting water for all the good it does. Also, although protein doesn't have carbs, it does convert something like 40% into glucose over a much longer period of time than carbs do, so I have to shoot up for it (either double bolus with Humalog or use Regular). That 40% figure, btw, seems to vary greatly from individual to individual. Also, if you are still honeymooning, your beta cells may have just taken a nosedive. By the way, your doctor sounds like an imbecile.
