Struggling with Over-Eating as a T1D

I was dieting pretty well earlier this year before stopping due to circumstances, but when I was dieting I seemed to have no problems with my BG and my A1C dropped to a 5.2. I want to diet again to lose more weight, but the thing is that recently, every time I try to eat less, my blood sugar drops multiple times a day and I'm forced to eat something sugary and high-calorie to raise it again. I tried cutting down on my meds but that only ended up making me feel awful due to high blood sugar. Even if I tweak my meds downwards the tiniest bit, I end up having an average BG of 200. So I'm not losing any weight because every other hour I'm eating candy and drinking juice to raise my blood sugar. Does anyone have any idea how to combat this?

Struggling with Diabetes and Food

Good morning! I find it excruciatingly difficult to lose weight as a Type 1 diabetic; I was hoping my recent return to a pump would help ( I can avoid dropping low when I eat less and exercise) . Instead, I ve gained. Then, I stress eat. Obviously the calories AND the stress are contributors to this cycle but I know SOMEONE has conquered this and I d love to hear how you did it,!
