hi,
have you been taught to carb count? this will make a difference on your levels, and if you have only just changed over it can take a bit of trial and error till you get your ratios right :)

Probably just too much insulin or not enough food to give you such a drop... However for anybody to offer any further advice than that, it would depend on what regime you are on, ie 1 basal and 3 bolus injections and time(s) that you are taking the injections, and also what your levels are before you eat, and what they are like 2 -3 hours after you eat......
