Wow Michelle! Take a deep breath.

Everything is going to be ok. It takes a while to figure things out.

Two days is to quick to figure anything out. You can do this, just go easy on yourself.

Everything you eat will likely have some effect on your blood sugar. Things that you do and the state of youy body and mind effect your blood sugar as well. If I am stressed, my blood sugar rises markedly.

There are people here with extensive experience that can help you figure out the right dosing levels for your insulin and then how to adjust your diet and dosing levels to manage your blood sugar. Given the comments above, you probably will need to increase your current dosing levels.

Your doctor may be able to help you make some initial changes in your doing, however in the long run, you will need to steer the car. I found it very helpful to attend diabetes education classes. There is a local diabetes center with wonderful CDEs (certified diabetes educators) that teach you how to count carbs and do things like adjust your insulin to cover carbs.

As for your diet, it at first glance seems to be a calorie restricted diet. This may very well be why you are so hungry. You might consider a carb restricted diet, something like atkins. This will offer you many more options to still feel like you are full and satisfied, while addressing your need to keep your carbs at a measured level.

Best of luck.
