Bear in mind that you become more insulin resistant as your BG rises. Something to do with insulin receptors shutting down to protect cells from excess glucose. Which means that you have to load your correction bolus. And the higher your BG is, the bigger the loading needs to be.
I need to load correction boluses as soon as my BG goes over 10. And if it goes over 15, I have great difficulty getting my BG down again. Several overlapping corrections later, the BG plummets. So I have to watch the BG level very carefully.
My decision to keep away from the carbs that cause these extreme post-prandial hyperglycemic excursions has simplified my life enormously. The best part is that, after breaking the carb addiction, I don't miss them anymore.
