When you feel ready for it, try to adjust your doses to fit what you eat. It takes some trial and error, so always keep something sugary nearby
If you can figure out your insulin:carb ration then you'll easily be able to eat until you feel full, and still have good numbers afterwards
It's not always 10 units of insulin is the right amount, sometimes you might need more, sometimes less. Something is definitely not right with your doses if you go around hungry most of the day, and still being high.
One thing though... Rice can really whack the sugars for some people. Some people might find that basmati rice or wholegrain works better for them. I eat normal sticky rice though, and i eat it very often, often cook chinese food at home
Another thing i often do when having rice or pasta, which is rich in carbs, but quite slow, is that i take about 70-75% of my dose when eating, and the rest about 1h later. gives me a longer insulin peak at the same time as the amount of carbs get covered. It works quite well for me anyways
