As a type 1er myself, I can only begin to imagine how awful having your allergy would be! Hang in there!
Several years ago I was having some substantial problems with my sugars. My insulin ratios were incredibly inconsistent which caused my sugars to be all over the place. I decided to try and combat this by changing my diet and exercising a lot. I currently try and stick to the paleo diet and and do a good amount of cardio on a daily basis. After committing to this lifestyle change the amount of insulin I have to take has gone from 5-6 shots a day down to 2 shots a day. Sometimes my long acting insulin will actually carry me through the entire day. I have found hot yoga to be particularly effective at keeping my sugars down. Unfortunately, we have no bearing over medical advances and treatments (at least I don't) but we do have the ability to make our lifestyle as efficient as possible given our circumstances. These simple changes really really helped me out...I thought I should at least share, maybe they could help you out too.
