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.

This data is good, thank you

I cant tell you what happened in the past because I dont have the data.

I see your BG rises to a high of 12.2 after lunch. and then returns to a reasonable number after 5 hours.

Next meal Give me the time ,premeal BG

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

Prevous 2 postings I summerized again

Problem is that in ever change body gives the symptom, after eating, as sugar increases, body gives the symptom. Probably I will feel closer to normal if sugar never goes above 10.  The symptom I am getting is just from 2 months before. I did not have BASAL. Just trying to lower by humalog only.. Before 2 months I did not have this symptom

I got to bed at 10:30pm, but just at 3_30am I will certain awake every night. But why?

One month I did not have basal insulin. Body damaged then.
it takes years for damage to body

Probably Levemir in the arm is not working
sugar at 12:45    12.45
What did I say about injecting in other places (except the belly)

Probably I should eat very less carb, but how can i live without eating.   Carbs are not needed for life.  go Online and look up "essential nutrients"  they are ALL of the nutrients that the human body need to live.  Carbohydrates are not listed.  

there is a lot to eat without carbs.
I eat under 50gr of carbs a day.

you cant just stop eating carbs without taking less novalog.

the novalog and carbs are related. if you reduce the carbs and do not reduce the novalog you will go low, might even go dangerous low.

your last 2 posts are useless I cant see when you ate or took insulin or how many carbs.

Please give me good data so I can help.

all you give me is BG Feel bad and hours after...after what.. after when insulin   how much

Im sorry but its been over 100 posts and You still give me crappy data.  NOBODY can help you with the info you give.
