Oh dear, something has gone awry.
Can you think of anything that has changed, have you had Covid as that seems to have triggered high blood glucose in some people.
What medications are you on and what is your diet like. Have portion sizes drifted upwards or the foods you are eating changed.
People can become less able to cope with carbohydrates and therefore may need to cut them back further and or up the medications.

How long have you been diagnosed, and how did your diagnosis come about (symptoms or a routine blood test?)? Have you lost weight without trying to? Did they do any testing for type 1?

I was diagnosed 2 years ago, it was routinr check for somethong else is how I found out. It was assumed type 2 because of age and slightly too much weight. No testing for tpe 1

It is still possible that it may be type 1, but as you have just started a new medication it's probably best to give it a little time to see if it helps, hopefully you won't be waiting too long to see the endocrinologist
