High blood sugars

Ok. On Monday I was my diabetic clinic, I mentioned to my doctor that I'd been having some hypos at night time so he decided to try me on levemir, instead of my usual lantus. He told me to take 11 units at night, exactly the same as my lantus. After the first shot next morning I woke up and my bs was 16.9 so that night I raised the levemir to 17 units...next morning I woke up and it was still high, around the 15 mark. It's been high every morning and I've raised it accordingly. Last night i took 20 units of levemir, when I went to bed my bs was 8. This morning I woke up and it was 18!!! What on earth is going on?! I really think that tonight I'm going to go back on my lantus again tonight because I have retinopathy and can't afford to be having these extreme bs swings. Anybody had a similar problem?
