Confused...anybody else have this problem?

Okay I have a problem , I almost feel guilty about. I feel bad because others struggle so much to get their numbers down and I am having trouble keeping mine up.I can't seem to keep my BG to levels up where my doctor wants me, between 90-110. I started this crazy ordeal at 11.2 AC1, I am at 4.8 at my last test in October. My cholesteral which was completely out of control is excellent and I have lost 115 pounds.
I started on insulin 5 times a day, plus metformin. I have quit all diabetes medicine, I am eating the same healthy ways. I figured when I quit the meds my sugars would raise, well they have just gone down even more.
I seem to drop to the 60's a lot now. I feel okay, but I am concerned. I don't want to eat more carbs, being as I don't want to gain back my weight. I have gained 5-6 pounds in the last few months, which I hate. I am afraid to excercise, due to the fact that my sugars are going so low.
I don't know what to eat to keep my sugars up and my weight down. Grrrrrr...
I am greatful for all my good progress, but now I am confused what to do. Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks in advance- Julie
ps- My signature is all out of date and I can't seem to fix it. Oh well.
