Did you check your blood glucose before you ate? With high GI food like white bread, it also helps to bolus 20 minutes before eating. I find bolusing for bread so tricky that I hardly ever eat it anymore. When BG goes really high because of high GI food, it tends to not come down from the high level in spite of injecting copious amounts of insulin. In other works, a big spike invalidates the carb ratio.
