What fingering are you using for high D? There are alternatives. The one I usually use is exx oxoC, where e means half-hole.

Also, be aware that the diamond-shaped half-hole aperture is extremely sensitive to changes - say, if part of it is blocked.

roll forward on the reed when you are approaching a slur up to high D - more reed in the mouth will help the higher notes speak easily. And of course ..

try a different reed :)
