Discrete sine function programming

I am programming a frequency varying sin function like:

     y = sin ( 2 PI (f+df)(t+dt)/sf)

where 
     PI=3.14159
      f=initial frequency
     df=delta change of frequency
      t=time
     df=delta change of time
     sf=sampling frequency = # of sample points/sec

The problem is that the final waveform of y is not varying as what I like.
I used 1000Hz and 2000Hz for initial and final f respectively but
it actually gave 3000Hz at the end, or something like that.
Are there anyone who have met this situation and fixed it before?
I am sure it is due to the discrete computation of the function because
this problem of frequency modulation does not happen in analog world.
Any pointer is much appreciated.
Please email to the above address.
Thanks in advance.
