Huge bg drops

I'm confused again and can use some advice. I just started doing correction shots when I'm too high and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. Yesterday was a perfect example. I miscalculated a meal (high fat & carb content with only 5 units of novo), tested 2 hours later and I'm 245, waited another hour and I'm 280. Then I took 1u novo, trying to be carful, an hour later I'm 317. At this point I took 2 more units. 2 hours after that I'm 128, I figured it was a huge drop but not too bad. An hour later before the next meal I tested 91. Then I started eating and went badly hipo during the meal, took me a long time to recover probably becase I was eating slow acting carbs and high fat meal. Obviously I felt really bad untill I was stable again.

I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. I probably should've noticed I'm going low too fast and corrected earlier with some juice. I'm also really surprised about the huge drop, it seems like 1u drops me over 100 point, could that be? It seems MUCH higher then I thought. What other things should I do and notice next time something like this happens?

Thanks in advance,

Corwin.
