Correction Factor

I am curious to find out from other parents what your child's correction factor is for high blood sugars. My daugher has been having low blood sugar episodes and they usually occur after I have corrected a higher blood sugar along with her meal insulin. Usually in before bed - her sugar will be within range at bedtime (approx 2.5 or 3 hours after insulin and then drops to 70's or 60's an hour later - I'm also finding that her Novalog needs the full 4 hours (and then some - to completely work which is very different from the beginning _ 6 months ago - when it reliably worked within the 2 hour timeframe) I correct 1/2 unit for every 50 over 150 blood sugar. (and I have accounted meticulously for all carbs eaten - Her carb ratio is 1/20g) Do any of you have a smaller correction factors.
