Is she ill or coming down with something? This raises my blood glucose levels a lot.

If her levels are always high then perhaps you could ask the doctor / DSN for advise on how to lower them.

Goodluck!

Do you inject with a novopen? I second the above I've had a crack in my cartridge before that hasn't actually leaked out of the pen for quite a while.
Also crack for ketones you may need to give even more insulin to get rid of the ketones too which means levels can stay high without giving an extra amount of insulin
 
Is she eating things you are unaware of? I did that a lot as a kid. It was the only way I could eat sweets.
