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 believe again that giving levemir is not good for me.  bI gave on my belly 3 units at 10 am.  Before putting levemir at 10:30am sugar was 10.4, Before lunch at 1145am sugar was 8.5, I started to feel, very shaky, I was feeling bad. Sugar went up to 11.4, I took humalog 10minutes before eating, still I shaking. Quickly passing insulin is not good for me. Though sugar after 2 hours is 10.4, some kind of internal  shaking, but if I take levemir in other place, I feel little better

Probably if I could eat a bit in bed time, it would be better for morning sugar.
What can I eat?   When should be the dinner?

How long the body will take to accept low value? I am  most time having body shaking. It is inducing blood pressure increase. Probably it takes 4 weeks to accept

To day morning sugar 9   after 2 hours  9.8 before lunch 7.9  (2 hours body shaking)  after 2 hours  11.4 (driving) before super 7.1 ( 3 hours body shaking) I am either hyper mode or hypo mood.  Untill body accepts that, there will remain the tendency  to increase BP

Teach me how to give insulin injection with 8mm needle.

180 degree, just perpendicular(90 degree) to the belly?   or 45 degree angle with the belly?

Yesterday night, I slept with Bg 7.9, at 3:30, I wake up sugar was 7.9, Wake up at 5:30 am, it was 9, little better than yeterday. But I took 18 units of levemir at bed time. Let me stay with 18 units for few more days. Rather try for lower bed time sugar. When there is no humalog in the body, eating very little non-carb food at every hour, such as white of an egg, keeps BG lower. I want that atleast after eating, maximum rise of sugar will not go above 10 for the time being.

Still continue replying. It gives me courage.
You are right. My BG is not that high in comparison to many people. They do not have symptoms. But I have symptoms. After 11 am to night my sugar is below 10, 9 ,8 range. Normally before I had symptom if BG is over 10.  Only morning time few hours sugar is above 10. Even in night, sugar is not above 10.

But new symptoms, I find dropping from car, going up stair, makes symptom in the brain, I cannot give too concentrate, It means I cannot tolerate stress at all.  Before only high sugar used to give symptoms. Now I improved in that.
I need mental happiness, confidence and mental strength.

This is adrenal weakness. I had this problem at the start of this problem. I improved in it natuarally. That time sugar was 10 to 15. I had no medicin to lower. But Carb helped in improving. I could not go below 10. It gave me  serious hypo.  One day I ate white rice, sugar dropped to 8. I started only eating only protein for three weaks. It improved my sugar fall without medicine. That time when sugar came to 10, it used drop quickly. Eating 6 times and protein helped it

After I used to eat 6 times a day mostly vegetables and chicken, very small portion of roti.

There is no  direct treatment by the MD's. Only the harbalist tell to take lot vitamins, specially B5, magnesium, C, etc

I will have to be stress free for few months. My main problem is stress which affecting blood pressure. I am feeling little better, that is your contribution
