your right theres just too many factors, and i just dont feel like thinking about them.

so maybe what im thinking is just test 4 hours after meals, instead of 2, to make sure i came down to my range eventually, and to be able to make a correction right then and there
I would still check at 2 hours. If your 2 hour BG is 400, then you're going to need a correction and it might get worse by hour 4. Just don't let it drive you insane when the 2 hour number is out of range, unless it's very high. Checking at 2 hours, plus hour 3 or 4, will show you how different foods work for you. You might find some that just aren't worth eating anymore due to the aggravation of spikes, or a delayed rise in BG hours later. I always check at 2 hours and 3 hours and often at hour 4.

I'd just hate to go really high and not know for 4 hours.
