I find that most carbs work faster than the insulin. So if I eat a meal high in carbs, I bolus a good 1/2 hour (if possible) before eating to allow the insulin to get a head start on the carbs. Eating less carbs, makes it easier to control the post meal spikes. Eating lower glycemic index based carbs also helps.

BTW, calories, not carbs, cause weight gain...
