No one knows every answer when type II diabetes is involved.

If your cortisol levels rise for any reason, your sugars will too.
(emotions or illness or stress). Viral and/or bacterial infections raise sugars in some people.

However, there is a general consensus that with time the pancreas burns out and cannot make insulin properly during the whole day. If this is the case for you, no matter what you eat, your sugars will go up, because the liver continues to metabolize protein to sugar when it gets "the call" that the cells are suffering elsewhere in the body.
