Correcting but won't come down


So today was father's day and we went to my grandparents for dinner. We had hot roastbeef sandwiches, homeade macaroni salad, and chicken. I wasn't hungry and I barely ate anything (almost nothing) so I didn't give myself insulin for dinner. Afterwards I had a tiny slice of pound cake.
Two hours after dinner I was 227. Not too too bad, I guess. That was at 6:30. So i corrected with 1.8 units. At about 10:30 I was laying in my bed and watching a movie and feeling pretty terrible. I thought I might be low so I checked my blood sugars again and I was...214?!?!?!? So i gave myself 1.5 units correction AGAIN.
I don't know where that number came from, to be honest. It has been over four hours since I last ate and I corrected. So I don't know why I'm still high. I will check again in about an hour I guess to make sure that I'm coming down.
I don't often get the "I-hate-diabetes-really-bad" feeling but right now I am.
Diabetes sucks presently. Grrr :(
