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 dont know why
do you tell me your BG   no

I dont know you dont say when*

*IF YOU TAKE TOO MUCH INSULIN YOUR BG WILL GO LOW  below 3.8*

Sugar before supper is 6.9   *WHEN*
*WHEN DID YOU EAT*
I took 12 unit humalog, *When I dont know you dont say*

I started feel bad. *When   I dont know you dont say*

I measure it is 11.8   *When,,,, I dont know you dont say*

almost 5 unit increase in half an hour. *that will make you feel bad  ANY rapid change in BG will make you feel bad*

I ate little  carb and chicken   *I DONT KNOW YOU DONT SAY When OR HOW MANY CARBS*

when and measure again. WHEN I DONT KNOW YOU DONT SAY
Came down to 9.8. *WHEN  I DONT KNOW YOU DONT SAY*

Now starting to increase from 9.8. *WHEN YOU DONT SAY

*BG goes up , from carbs, sometimes exercise,  pain, anxiety, late digestion.  after fast insulin is gone and you are not taking enough basal insulin.  lots of reasons,  that is what happens to diabetics the BG goes up  THAT is diabetes.  again I dont know you dont give enough info to know*

What is the reason of so high value?
later I checked it never went up 10. *I dont understand?*
The sudden jerk of 11.8 gave me a reaction and I loosing normal feeling. *yes suddeen chainges in BG will make you feel bad*

Have I given more humalog  than needed?   *AGAIN INSULIN LOWERS BG

Now efficiently levemir i working.  Only 3 units at 10 am from lunch to 10 pm making most of the values close to 7. !7 or 18 unit at night seems to work similar. Even 21 units did not do that efficient work.

How much unit Levemir should I take at 10 pm now?

Yesterday morning sugar bounced from 7 to 8.8, I was feeing trouble at near 9am, still I continued with low value upto night.

But to day I got morning sugar 7.3 but not bounced, but after eating, it jumped to high value, still before lunce is 8.7 and from then I am having  around 7. Morning time due to adrenal malfunction, it wants high value. It gives me lot of trouble
This is with 17 unit Levemir

Yesterday Morning sugar 7 bounced to 8.6 13 nunit humalog  2 hours after breakfast 7.6 Before lunch 8.6 2 hours after lunch 7.6 before super 7 after super 7 at 8:30 Pm 6.7
