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 ate ate 6am      35 carb   14 unit humalog
Lunch 11:30 AM   35 CARB  14 unit humalog
Dinner  5:30Pm    40 carb   14 unit carb
Sugar befor super   6.4

What I am ashtonishing if sugar is  of lower value (example 6.4)
if I give same insulin, sugar increases more, Liver dumped? After 1 hour
it is 11.6  Why? Not feeling well

Brown rice + Cabbage + Chicken  I measure brown rice by scale. 200gram = 45 gram carb

While sugar was   6.5 body was shaking too much

  7a,m                            11.2
   8 am                            9.4
"

Yesterday night, I took less BP medicine, BP increased at 3:30am (150/8575)  That is why sugar did not decrease after 3:30 am. Sugar at #:30am was 7.9

As per your advice I increased humalog to 14 unit and reduced the carb to 35 gram.

: 6am     Morning sugar 9.4   14 unit Humalog
  7a,m                            11.2
   8 am                            9.4

   11:30 am before lunch   8.6
   1:30 pm                          8.3

I took 4 unit of Levemir at   10:30 am

10 is very high you should be around 5  

your BG is high
when its high you dont feel good
TAKE your INSULIN.

This is your post

"Lunch  at 11:45    Insulin 13 units Humalo  40 gram carb
sugar at 12:15 pm      11.7  Not   good
Sugar at 12:45 pm      12.2  Not good
Sugar at 1:15 pm        10.6  Not good
Sugar at  5 pm             7.6  Better but fatigued
Sugar at  5:45 pm        7.4   Beter   Super  13 units Humalog  40 gram carb
"

BG above 7.6 and you dont feel well.

Id say your 13 IU for 40 carbs id too low, your BG climed after eating.

To day sugar did not go above 10. Endo told me to take 4 units of levemir in day time, But to day I am not courageous enough to take units. I took 3 units. To morrow I will take 4 units. Let my body be habituated to lower values
