@SussexGeoff Just a thought from a T1D of many years.
In your first post you mention taking Levermir, but it appears to be only once a day. That insulin lasts around 12 to 14 hours. Most T1Ds on it inject it morning and evening for 24 hr coverage, with a flat action profile. There are others that last longer but due to the delay are harder to make quick adjustments with.
If you are only injecting once a day that might explain the erratic action/ effect.
And yes some T2s need some insulin support BUT you should demand access to the Freestyle Libre CGM to help you optimise its use.
Good luck.
