| I am not yet on insulin, so take what I say with a grain of salt. If you read Bernstein, he makes a pretty logical argument that while you might be able to "cover" any level of carbs with a correct does of insulin, you can't dispense the insulin in a continuous manner to keep your blood glucose down as it varies. If you eat high carb and dose high insulin your are going to suffer large variances, both high and low even tho you might hit your target at two hours.
I think if you really want to tightly control your diabetes, you have to limit your wild swings of blood sugar. My suggestion is to consider limiting your carbs as a way of more tightly controlling your blood sugar swings.
