you probably have reactive hypoglycemia
you eat your BG way high because your pancreas is slow to react,  your BG goes down but your pancreas still pumps out insulin (its slow to react).  

some people help control it by eating LCHF (Low Carb High Fat).  by eating low carb your pancreas doesnt need to make much insulin so it doesnt over shoot as much and cause the lows.

BG of 22 puts you firmly in house of Diabetes.  Welcome to the club
