I don't understand 1. why you won't eat carbs and 2. why you won't take insulin. You need carbs for energy. Very few if any last long on extreme low carb diets. I don't mean to imply you need all that pasta and rice those stupid books want you to eat, but fresh fruit and whole grains are what we are designed to eat along with veggies.

You are actually overworking your beta cells. Supposedly they will last longer if you take some insulin. I'd try a basal and if needed, a fast acting with meals. You also need to test regularly which I assume you do now. Change is inevitable for all of us.
