Some other things that raise your glucose and you need insulin:
- waking up, liver produces glucagon
- stress at work, hormones going wild… including glucagon
- weather changes, when it is cooler you need more insulin
- you get sick. 2-3x insulin for me
- liver just having a normal glucagon production, that needs insulin without you ever eating anything
Nice that you have your A1c in control. Mine is 5.8% without too many hypos after 26 years of having T1. The tech I need for this costs a fortune without insurance, but at least I can finally live a normal life without nasty surprises every day.
