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.

If you want to avoid carbs, then you avoid the following foods:-

Rice, pasta, breads, potato, any foods made from flours or with added sugars / sweeteners

You limit the following foods:-
Fruit (particularly tropical fruits which are very sweet), instead eat apples, berries, etc. in small portions.
Milk / yoghurt

Your diet will consist of protein (from eggs, meats, nuts),
Dairy - such as cheeses, cream
All other Vegetables
Oily fruit such as avocado, olives
Use coconut oils, olive oils, and any other cold pressed oil
Eat the fat from the meats,

Levemir and humalog are working more efficiently why?. I  take only 18 units of levemir at night, I raise sugar to 8 or 8.5 at bed time. Morning time I get 8.6 again

Sugar  befor break fast at 6am 8.6   Ate same carb 40 gram carb  13 unit humalog
7 am sugar 13.2
8:30 am     9
9 am sugar 7
before eating at 11 am  6.2    !2 unit humalog
Before eating at 5 pm  sugar is 5.3  I am giving 11 unit humalog
How Insulin is more powerful with the same gram of carb?

But reducing  sugar in the morning, gives pressure in brain and some other symptoms.

Last 2 days it was going this number. Only morning sugar and after eatin in the morning is high. Probably ther is some mal function. IN the morning , I do not feel that good.  On 18th and 19th almost all were 7 except in the morning. I take 3 units Levimir in at 10:30 am. But I am feeling not that good.

I have two problems.  Number one: High blood sugar  Number 2:  Adrenal Malfunction

High blood sugar problem is more or less solved. I do not have high sugar symptoms now.  Now sugar is around 6.5, 7 and 8. I like to stay for a month for toleration of the body.  I am grateful to you for guiding me to lower the sugar

Adrenal malfunction: Due to digestive unbalance, body does not accept all foods. It gives reaction to some foods as it thinks "ALIEN " to it. If I eat that it gives vigourous symptoms though sugar is not high or too low.. It some times reacts to insulin too. It does not accept vegetable protein, high glycemic foods. No whites. It accept low amount low carbohydrate foods with fibers. Not even all vegetables. But it accept animal proteins, only olive oil, no other oils, etc. To I ate one egg, it did not accept favourably. Body started to shake with shortness of breath. I eat only brown rice, cabbage and cauliflower. I will have to discover  those foods, body accept favourably. Other wise lots of unnecessary hormones are secreted and ultimately it becomes furher weak. But if proper sugar level can be maintained, it might be set in future. But it will not be wise to excite the adrenal with wrong food. I will request you to find out which food may be acceptable to body.  I will write about this more in future. This weakness is the result of Metformin  with the skippin of meal. Adrenal has been stressed .
