That seems agressive to me given meter inaccuracies. Remember these are inexact measurements and ratios. My endo wants me to adjust only above 10mmol/l or 180 mg/dl. That 120 could easily be a 105. There's one person on here who corrects at 100 or 105. I have too. I trust my own judgement; though my wife doesn't

In theory correction should match your resistance. At 3:15, or 1:5, 1 unit should drop the average sized person 25 points. At 1:10 1 unit will drop about 50. At 5:15 or 1:3, 1 unit should drop them about 16.7 points. Again, these are estimates. Of course go by your own testing results and experience.
