But you dont need to keep raising your slin dose.

Like you did.
The better bet is to do more than one shot throughout the day.
One with breakfast.
One pre workout.
One post workout.
(for example)
This way you can lower your dose to make the slin dose match your diet macros. 6ius for a meal that has 60g of carbs for example.
And get the benefit of the nutrient shuttling with more meals.
But in reality you shouldnt have to eat the amount of carbs to match the iu dose at the same time.
If you shoot 8ius of slin... depending on what type of slin you are shooting... its active for a certain amount of hours.
So lets say you shoot 8ius and its active for 2 hours. Then you break that 80g of carbs up into that 2 hours.
Take in 40g of carbs with the shot and then about an hour later get in another 40gs of carbs to get your total of 80g per 8ius.
Get me?
