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.

What forces urination at night is high BG

frequent urination at night is one of the symptoms of diabetes and high BG.

BG NEVER stays it always moves

As your BG normalizes (3.8 to 7.7) your eyes become blurry and will settle down. the reason is with high BG your eye swells and as sugar comes down the eye changes shape.

How do you intend to figure out your insulin when you are constantly changing it?

S I said before maybe your allergic to Levemir you can try Lantis.  (although you dont show the classic signs of an allergic reaction.

As I said before BG goes up in the AM  its called Dawn phenomena  or DP.... google it

I dont know where you get your Ideas  

Skipping a meal does not cause diabetes.

Sugar did not stay at 7.6, it should go below as the time goes, but i feel stress on my eyes, bo bo on head, sugar bounced. I ate a little chicke, came down 8 again.  body does not allow go below. In my case it is very rare to have real hypo. It bounces back, if it feels so

No, you are speaking about ideal conditions. My condition is little different. I was taking too much Levemir than I need. Do you know how levemir works?

Whatever I saw, after taking levemir at night at 10:30pm, I start sleeping, I wake up around 3:30am, Levemir forces expel urin from kidney. But I did not have sufficient fluid in the body, pressure used to go low or high. Yesterday night I went back to 20 units of levemir at bed time and drink 1 b glass of water, I wake up at 12:30am, urinated and drink 1/2 glass of water again, I got up again at 4:30am. Sugar came down to 7. Bed time sugar was 9. But after getting up at 6am, it came up to 8.5.

I the ate 40 gram carb and reduced humalog to 13. At 8am sugar came down to 7.6. I was feeling weak.

Still I feel I am taking more levemir I need, for bthis I am getting unnecessary symptoms. To night I will take 17 units, But day time more than 3 units is not good. I feel headache which is a sign of more insulin needed. I am not habituated to stay below 7, hence for some  days, I should stay in this situation.

I went to heart specialist yesterday, pressure low or high, or body burning is not heart disease. He reduced BP medicine.. He indicated excess insulin. Main problem was dehydration

You taught me to lower sugar. I was successful considerably throught the day and part of night, at leats 8 an9 ranges. i WAS FEELING better, no high sugar symptoms but now I feel burning.. It is digestion unstability.. Problem is that anxiety and fair is alwayes with me

I was doubted some heart problem, but the heart rulled out. He reduced the dose of BP medicine.

At night if I awake and shake, sugar will not go low, each time I awoke, sugar will go high that time. That is why I cannot make morning sugar low

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.

If you take too much insulin you will have very low numbers  under 3.8
