Why are you injecting AFTER you eat?

I can only handle carb-laden meals if I give the insulin a head start. The insulin you inject doesn't even start doing anything for at least 10 minutes - so by the time you're taking it you're heading for a big meal spike!

I agree with others here - some vegetables would be a good thing. And a little less of the processed / junk food.

I tend to think that fat is ok in a diet - I reckon we were 'had' on the old 'fat makes you ill' idea. It's overdosing on carbs we need to be careful of, in my most humble opinion.
