Higher blood sugars, higher insulin needs are the main 2

You would more than likely notice your BG starting to creep up. Levels tend to be a bit more erratic than they normally were, this is down to your pancreas having finally packed in.

You would probably need to increase your basal insulin dose to compensate.

I found my BS was higher after meals. That was the first thing I noticed - I had to increase my boluses.

Ok. How sudden did it come on for you? I've noticed that my BGLs are getting higher after meals. Also rising overnight on occasion. A tiny snack can send them up. I'm wondering if this is the start
