Hi. I don't take meds for my diabetes and am a bit lost with all the novo rapid stuff, correction etc...so it may well be to do with getting that balance bang on in relation to missing a meal...liver dump...strenuous activity etc...but if your levels are normally a bit lower than this, have you considered you may have a small infection?
