Absorption Sites/Honeymoon questions

Hi guys,

I was diagnosed about 4-5 months ago. My control has been pretty good up until recently. Now I'm having a bunch of swings, readings over 10 and as well as hypos from taking too much insulin. It seems like my insulin requirements are going up, but when I try to account for this and take a little extra I am ending up with hypos that are starting all new cycles of rollercoastering up and down.

Is it possible this is due to bad absorption after 5 months of injections? I use pretty much my whole stomach but should I be branching out to my sides, and or other places?

Is my honeymoon ending? And would these be typical symptoms of a honeymoon ending?

It's pretty frustrating after having had mostly 5's and 6's for a couple months to start seeing 10+'s on a semi-regular basis.
