Apologies for asking what may seem like the blatantly obvious.
Have you changed your insulin and pen? I once saw my BG rise and rise and rise. I changed the pen to my back up and saw no change. I changed the insulin vial and saw no change. I got a new prescription and everything started to come back down to normal. I can only assume it was a dodgy batch of insulin or it was stored badly at some point. Thankfully, only ever happened once in 15 years.
Unfortunately, the stress of worrying about not getting your BG under control is likely to contribute to the higher BG. So, if possible, try not to panic. Yeah, I know. easier said than done.
As for talking to someone else, have you tried a pharmacist?
