What Causes Elevated Blood Sugar Levels While On Levemir?

I take Levemir. My usual dosage is 18 units. I did a test strip and my number was 357. My usual reading is Around 210. I did have a late snack so that probably made it go up. I m feeling ok, but should I increase the number of units or inject 18 units. Thanks for your assistance.
