IMHO: at the 2hr mark you have active insulin yes, but you also have active carbs. You should correct.

BUT, you have to acurately assess other factors that impact absorption: glycemic index of your previous meal, exercise, activity, stress, blah, blah, blah. If there's no readily apparent reason for going high and no reason to believe it'll drop, I'll bolus.

That said, all but one of my 911's have resulted from mis-correcting.
