The small meals work. I started that very early on. When I was sick even a half of a plain burger (and I do mean BURGER - meat only…with water) sent me up to 180. I had to eat the same as what I was doing with my diabetic cat…small meals every two hours like you stated. It does work and I don’t know how some people manage when they work a job that doesn’t let them do that.
Glad you are getting it down to a science 
helps when you see improvements that make sense and you can do.
Thanks!
I have been doing this for years and it is so frustrating. I wish I could figure it out. I have had to resign myself to just live with it. I hate it, I really do, and the swings are awful. I do use symlin which I think helps, because it works so fast. I perfer to think of insulin as the long term solution to a short term issue. now when I say that we have to remember that my i statrted using Ultra Lente insulin. Yeah the old U. Wooo Whooo now of course I use humalog in my pump and i think it is long acting.
