| Hi there Dimes....
You are not alone! I was diagnosed late September 07 and am having the exact same thing. Firstly I thought it was due to illness, then being away and changes to my routine, but eliminate those factors and the same thing is going on....
I previously thought the miraculously easy control was down to working out a lot, but now I am seeing high readings after food and a general observation that I dont handle carbs too well!. Like you I have seen a high reading and taken extra insulin, not realising that I am just peaking higher and that the insulin will work...just takes time (although my insulin:carb ratio has increased as well....all part of the natural death of my poor little pancreas!).
I posted on this site about 'high peaks' earlier today and had some great advice from the pros. What rapid acting are you on? If you take novorapid with meals it certainly helps to 'pre-bolus', and im going to look into making a switch to Apidra. If you look at my earlier post someone replied with a graph showing the activity profile of humalog (which I believe to be similar to Novo), this did a lot to improve my understanding of how it all works and made me realise that the 'pre-bolus' is the only way forward with some particularly carby foods...
Re your injection sites etc, Im not an expert by any means and am new to it myself, but overall it sounds more like you are just coming to the end of your 'honeymoon' and basically things are gettting harder. I really find swimming does help to an extent, and can replace a corrective shot if the timing works, but its been quite tough facing up to things getting more difficult to deal with!
Hope this helps and doesnt get you down, but to be honest I think hearing it bluntly and dealing with it makes for happier times going forward....good luck with it all x
