I know where you are coming from. I have always needed to test 8+ times a day. Things can spin off in whatever direction, despite best efforts. Sorry you're in the same kind of boat, be sure you are with an endo who is understanding of your bg "sensitivity"... (brittleness is such a loaded word...) It's true also that things may settle down somewhat if you currently have a spluttering pancreas.
The pump is beginning to show me a whole new level, the ability to program my basals for every 30 minutes of the day has begun to improve my BG (and life) dramatically. I don't want to advert for it but do look into it if things don't get easier on injections.
Sucks is right. But keep it up dude, work hard on your basals and I:Cs and enjoy life
