How long before you eat?

So I am curious, how long BEFORE you eat do you take your bolus insulin. I have been trying to wait longer and longer, as it seems to help with the spikes (occasional) but after I tried (splurged) on sushi, tempura, spring roll, and a cookie (I know, but it has been two months and I really thought I would be okay if I just took MORE insulin) I was 223 at 90min, 171 at 2 hours....still waiting for 2.5 and 3 hours (obsessive I know but I am just annoyed.)

So how long? And are there tests one can do to see how long it takes individuals? Is a pump faster? (endo said whenever you are ready call me and we will get you on one)

thx

I really beat myself up if over 140 at 2 hours....

Oh, MDI of course novolog and lantus
