Bouncing of Blood sugar

I am type 2 diabeteic patient. Due to skipping meal, I developed adrenaline stress and by diamicron  metformin
But blood sugar was never high. Doctor gave me Lantus and Humalog. It was working well for a year. Then blood was becoming high, Doctor gave me LEVEMIR. If I take 10 units of humalog, after two hours sugar drops 4 points, I think this is the right dose for humalog for what I eat. I eat 60 gram Carb every meal. But 3 hours, sugar tries to go low, but insead, it bounces back and proceede to values and I start to feel hypo,  though I never see sugar 9. It is not hypo value, why sugar bounces up, why feel shaky, fear etc. I use LEVIMIR as base insulin. Why body is obstructing sugar to low, and why it gives hypo feeling.

Can any body me the reason and how to overcome this situation? My sugar is going high now.

It is rare but some people have problems with one type of insulin it is possible that you have a reaction to levamir you could try switching to Lantis insulin, Lantis is also a 24 hour insulin.

You are right. BUt Levemir is not working properly. I cannaccept ot the result as the base for judgement. Adrenaline is surging in a different way. Sometime increasing blood pressure. It makes me awake at 3am every day. I cannot sleep. You say that 7.4 is not low. THeoretically it is correct but right practically. Yesterdat  at 7pm I was taking rest. and feel sleepy. Suddenly I jerk , my heart rate increased. I measure it it was 7.3. It is not low practically. But my body did not accept normally. After 10 pm I trying to sleep, BP was was low, I was hesitating to 300mg BP medicine. I suddenly jerk and BP and HR increased.  At time I tried to incease sugar to be 9.
at 3am I see suar was 8.4, then I did not sleep. sugar did not decredse furher, bed time sugar 9.4. Why levemir will increase BP? Most of the time BP is not high.  My walking BP is falling, masking me hypotensive

Asked you a question before  Does night time Levemir dose depend on BEd time sugar? You did not relpy clearly

Yesterda bed time sugar was 8.2. I took 18 munits again. At  2:45 am sugar came down to 7.4. at 4:30am I got adrenal jer, sugar went up to 9.7.
It became low, did the Somogi effect..
