Do you also find that including fat increases the ratio of insulin needed per carb?

Carbs eaten with fat will get into the blood slower than carbs eaten on their own, so I would still need the same amount of insulin but the timing of when I would take the insulin (prebolus or not or 2 partial doses) would vary.
