Yes, I can only take a very small instant dose (whether injection or "instant bolus" on the pump) - problems consistently occur over about 3units as opposed to slow release with the pump. By "problems" I mean, deferring action by between 30 minutes and 80 minutes. I seem to have it really bad, most people either don't have the problem or maybe would only get it at much higher dosages. But yes it is the kind of thing well worth keeping in mind, especially up at the 50u mark!
I only found this out when I went to the pump (no option to "slow release" with injection - no way to definitively troubleshoot these absorption issues). Previously on MDI I had very similar kind of problems especially though the morning, as you drummingfool, and never really found the answer! I really hope you do!
