Sudden increase in insulin requirements

My first post of the new year so Happy New Year to you all.

A quick question.
I've been having issues with my levemir over the last few months (I posted about it a while ago). But now I've kind of sorted that out by taking a shot of noavrapid to cover the shortfall I have suddenly had to start taking a lot more insulin with my food. My ratios have changed from 1:5 in the morning to 1:1.5 and from 1:12 to about 1:7 during the day.

Is it possible that I'm just not using my levemir properly at all and would ths just kind of happen after nearly 2 years after diagnosis. I'm sure I came out of my honeymoon period well over a year ago where my ratios doubled and up until recently they have been totally stable.

I've also ahd a few epsiodes recently where Ive had false hypos. As in I felt really like having a hypo but my sugras have been about 8. It feels very weird like my levels are radily changing but they are going up and not down.

All a bit odd and I'm finding it really really hrad work to keep my levels at nomal ranges at the moment.

Any thoughts
thanks
Andrea

p.s have tried new pens and have even gone and got a new batch of pens from chemist which i will try today.
p.p.s I will get round to swapping my avatar to something a bit mroe appropriate

Thanks for the replies. Weight is stable and have done a couple of basal tests and in between eating is ok.
I don't feel particularly more stressed and can't think if anything that's different.
I know it's just a number but 1 unit per 1.-1.5 g carb in the morning seems a lot

I have a consultant appt next month so will muddle on and talk it over with him. Will let you know how I get on RRB.
