Very much an opinion. It depends on your treatment choices. There is no "diabetic" diet to follow. We need to eat healthy balance vegetables, carbs, and protein choices, and low amounts of fats and sweets just like anyone. See a nutritionist or dietitian to come up with a meal plan that works best for you. High amounts of protein will still have an effect on your bg, just much later than your meal and/or for an extended amount of time.

Likely 14u are not enough for you. Given your numbers you need to be in the 30-40 range, about double what you're taking now. Keep logging your numbers and your dose increases, and soon you'll start seeing a difference. If meals are affecting your numbers your doctor may suggest a fast acting insulin as well.
