Thinking back.... if I would've had an A1C at of 6.5 at age 16, I would have been floored with excitement, so in the big picture, you are doing well, esp. for your age... Those years are the worst to control!

If you aren't interested in a pump, Bluesky's suggestion of switching to a basal insulin like Lantus or Levemir could very much help, and would get rid of the constant rise/fall.

Foods with more whole grain, fiber, and overall lower carb may help stabalize your bg, I think this was mentioned already though.

Talk with your parents about your feelings about your Dr. and how you wish to have better control... Maybe it is time to look around for someone new, or just a new approach.

Hang in there!
