A sudden change in my blood sugar readings

Could it be the end of the honey moon period? I don't really understand much about that to be honest. Also I feel like I've had diabetes too long for it to do that.


Anyway... this is whats happening....

just last month I used to take 8 shots of levemir each evening (same kinda insulin as lantus). And I would take 4 or 5 shots of novo rapid with each meal. Which my doctor said wasn't alot of isulin, but it was all I needed and my bg was great.

Since then my bg seemed to often be a little higher than normal during the day and in the morning, so I put my levemir shot up by 2 units. Trouble is i've done this a few times and now i'm up to 16 units of levemir, which is obviously twice as much. I have no problem with that except it hasn't helped because my bg is almost constantly runing too high.

This morning it was 9 (162) which isn't dreadful, but this evening it's 16 (288)
which makes me feel like utter poop. I'm eating the same things as normal but having a higher bg all the time. I've taken some novo rapid to bring down my high blood sugar for now because soon I need to eat anyway, i'll probbaly be high all night tho... which is giving me bad headaches and I feel like I haven't slept even when I have

Does anyone think this faily sudden change in bg is the honey moon thingy? Or is it just the joys of diabetes?

I've been diabetic for almost 2 years incase thats relative to the honey moon thingy
