I'm no help with super bolusing, but I must say I would feel the same trepidation mucking around in the prime menu and fixed primes, myself. If you aren't comfortable with it, don't do it.
What's the reference to bacon and eggs... fat to slow your absorption? As options, have you tried specific low-gi options as well? There are a couple of cereals and breads that spike me much less severely. I'm in another country but I'll say them anyway: Helga's soy and linseed bread gives a wonderfully low response. Vogel's Low GI muesli does pretty well for me too. (and it's really nice).
I don't know how exhaustively you've tried low GI stuff. I find that some of it works great, other times it can be officially "low GI" and still spike me right up (repeatedly). I partly put this down to GI being tested on non-diabetics, with their full, natural insulin capability intact and probably a little different to diabetics (or just me).
In other words, for me Low GI foods represent a good target of things to try, and I sometimes find stuff that is "low GI" that really does give me a good slow energy release. But some just do not work as low GI for my body: so a lot of checking and experimenting per food, is required.
