Umm, Ummm! We seem to be using the same language and meaning something subtly different by it.
By correction factor, I refer to the amount of extra insulin to inject before a meal to bring my BG to target after the complete insulin-meal cycle.. For every 35 points that I am over 90, I add 1 U to the dose (in half Us).
I rarely do the 2 hour postprandial check because it usually shows me little. Unless the number were over 150, I won't correct anyway since the timing issues are so iffy. Were I to correct then, I would use the same ratio though with a minimum of 1 u.
