oh, now what?!

My numbers have been pretty all over the place the last week and a half. They've been going over 200 at least once a day lately. Now I've been under some stress of course but this is scaring me. I haven't been this bad since right after diagnosis.

Today I woke up at 93, but it's been going up all day; before dinner was 219; I ate 3 carbs, took 5u Novolog, 3 for the carbs and 2 for the high, and now it was 220, about 3.5 hours later. I don't feel sick, just tired from these higher numbers.

When I got my Lantus prescription filled they gave me 5 pen cartridges and I'm just now on the last one since I don't take that much. I also have tons of Novolog that they sent me last fall before my insurance started. So I don't know if my insulin has gone bad, my honeymoon has ended or what else is going on.

Should I go to the doctor? I don't have any ketone strips to test. I'm just kind of scared and feel out of control; I need to get my a1c down and I'm failing miserably.
