    If you're hypo most of the time you have problems. Either reduce your insulin injections or increase the amount of food you eat, my dietician prefers the less insulin route. Reduce insulin by 2 units at breakfast time and test your blood and keep like that for a week and see what your results are. If that improve things then start on the dinnertime injection. Assuming you are on 4 injections a day. TBH it is best to seek tha advice of the medical professionals treating you and not that off the internet even if the provider lives with diabetes too.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
