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.

I took 14 unit of humalog, but after 1 hour in did not increase but after 2 hours it it did not decrease. Some times morning time, if I give more humalog it does not decrease sugar.  It is better to decrease carb. Some times after taking humalog in morning, I do not feel good. Yesterday I was feeling bad because I had no levemir in the body.

I took 21 unit at bed time, sugar came down to 7.4 in the morning. After 1 hour sugar was 9. But I cannot tolerate stress , I went outside near my car, I staarted feeling blurriness in my eyes, sugar increased.
I took 14 unit  humalog, I thought it will be 7 again.
Eye blurriness and heart rate increase, is negative and making me depressive.
I believe if take 4 units of levimir sugar will come down. Sugar after 2 hours is 10.
Should I remain inside home for few days untill body is habituated?

The novalog does needs to cancil out the carbs, if you eat to many carbs for the does of novalog your BG goes up.  If you eat the same carbs but take less novalog your BG goes up.

taking more novalog and the same garbs BG will go down.  Taking more novalog AND eating less carbs you BG will go DOWN.  best to eat fewer carbs OR take more novalog.  Doing both can cause your BG to go WAYdown.

Yes you can get all the nutrients from other foods.  Carbohydrate is not a food, just as a protien is not a food, you find both carbs and protien in foods.

My Endo has told me to take 21 unit of Levemir at night and 4 unit unit at day. To night I will follow her instruction
I followed your instruction   too. I ate 130gram of brown rice instead of 150 and took 14 units of humalog. Sugar remain same, before lunch and two hours after lunch.

Can you fulfill the "The essential nutrients" through food you eat? Do you take supplements?
