Complicated question.It depends a lot on that you have dinner, because digestion may take three hours or more.With that figure I would not risk putting insulin and having a hypo.An alternative is to wait a little more and measure again.It also depends on your insulin sensitivity.There are people that a unit lowers 30 and another 60!Each person is very different.It would be very useful to check how much a fast insulin unit lowers you.It is easy.One day you have to put a correction, you sign up as you were before putting the unit and then that of the 2 and a half hours or three hours, and you control yourself.Of course, in between I don't eat anything.That will give you an idea of how your body reacts.The problem is that that factor sometimes varies, with what you must repeat that control from time to time.
All the best

@Olga G. Rendez, if you stay at 140 after dinner and wake up well, the rapid is fine, unless it continues.
