I put my money on the increased insulin resistance. Eating more carbohydrate than your body needs at the time and pumping in insulin to cover it will obviously increase insulin resistance. How else can organ and muscle cells deny entry to unwanted glucose? The problem is that the effect continues long after the meal has been digested, the stomach has emptied and the bolus insulin has run its course. If you are not eating like this at every meal and eevery day, increasing you basal won't help.
