Maybe, maybe not. It depends. With the right food, I can inject an hour after eating, and still go hypo.

Oh well. If you're at 170, how long have you been there? The best answer is to stay in range if at all possible.

As people have suggested... take a second look at your basal. Varying 60 mg/dL during a basal test shows opportunity for improvement. Let's start at the beginning. How much of an overnight drop do you usually see?
