I think you should find a class for new diabetics, and attend it carefully.
Your answer above concerns me. You haven't provided any details about your "insulin". It is really impossible and potentially dangerous to ask open ended questions on an internet message board because there are many types of insulin available now.
You haven't even explained what insulin you are using, and exactly what you eat when you have side effects!
You need a live coach where you live that you can either call on a phone or attend their classes.
