what im getting at is that at 1 u were at 147, so u corrected, and did not eat until 1:40, at which point u ate and gave a meal bolus. If instead at 1 u would have corrected the 147 and ate and meal bolused all at the same time, you would have spiked, but you didn't spike because you waited 40 minutes for your correction to take effect before eating and meal bolusing.

if i am at 170, correct and meal bolus at the same time, it will take around 4 hours to get back into range than if i were at 170, corrected, waited an hour then ate and meal bolused - that would just take 2 hours to get into range.
