That is, I expect my correction of 1 u per 35 points to take effect over the full 4 to 5 hours of the insulin action with about 50% happening in the initial hour.
When I'm over, I correct to my BG goal. If I used just the hour figure I'd constantly overshoot and go low sooner or later unless I halved my correction factor to 17.
What's the standard method of figuring this?

After visiting with my new CDE, I believe that's another one of those "What works for you" things
I have my Lantus set for a stable 95/5.2--110/6.1 (I check it every few weeks with an 18 hr fasting test) so, when I do the 2 hr postprandial check, I use the 1:50/2.7 ratio, if needed, and rarely do I ever drop below 95/5.2 afterwards. One proviso, however, I rarely go more than 2-3 hours without eating especially when I'm not at work.
