I'll try to keep the unsolicited advice to a minimum...

One thing that really helped me was reading "The Diabetic Athlete" by Sheri Colberg (since updated and re-issued as "Diabetic Athlete's Handbook" by the same author). I can't remember if it specifically touched on MTBing, but there's some great discussion in there about different insulin and food strategies, and endurance sports vs. power sports.
