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.

Now I see
you dont feel well with hi BG and as the BG comes down you fell better.
Looks like you need more insulin for 40gr of carbs in the morning.
Or as most of us do, we eat fewer carbs in the am.

Dont change anything we need more data.

Maybe you can try Lantus insulin similar to Levemir.

Could be your meter reads low, have you compared your meter to other meters?

Get a big blood drop and use two different meters on the same drop of blood.  readings should be within 20% on the two meters

when did BG go up to 11.4

time.................. BG...................carbs..............insuli.....feel

ONLY 1 item per line

IE

8:00 AM     BG 9.0
8:20 AM  ...............................13 novalog
8:25 AM  ....(test BG when not feeling good)............felt shakey
8:30 AM   ..............................40 gr carbs
8:50 ...........................................................................shakey gone
10:30 AM         BG 10.1

11:30 AM    BG 11.1


that is how I need the info organized, so I can help
