Since getting my CGM and being able to see those spikes I started eating a bit slower.
Give it a try, also start with the protein on your plate and watch out for foods super high on glycemic index.

Jason, how many minutes in advanced you I text the bolus?
Hi, 95% of the time I bolus within minutes of eating. I carb count so I kinda need to see my plate before "dialing up".

Find the trend and maybe you can go to 10 minutes before eating, or possibly 5.

Try to get your lantus adjusted talk to your diabetes team maybe a pump might be best at this point as I was like that as well and now on a pump I rarely go over my set limit

you could be a little dehydrated or your hormones could be different. have you changed sleeping habits or exercise routines? what helps me is to eat my veggies ( I try to aim for ones with fiber bc the help slow the sugar rush) first and try to fill half your plate with good non-starchy variety. then I eat my proteins, then my fruits or grains. you could try eating a handful of cashews or almonds near the beginning of your meal. helps out with those heavier carb meals

Was looking through old posts and saw this. I try to bolus close to 40 minutes pre meal. It works better for me that way.
