Welcome to the Forum!
Congratulations on your accomplishment.
I have not reached the highly sought after "5" club, but I am working on it. I agree with many things that you have said. Especially #3, "Don't overmedicate the lows." I have found that if you count carbs, for your bolus insulin injections, that you can "back calculate" the number of carbs needed to raise your blood sugar to the target range. It works well for me, I hope others try it.
