Now I can go from 10 to 4 comfortably, so I'm SURE my current basal amount is better, and if anything, it would seem to me that I should decrease it even more and it would give me MORE stability.....but I just don't know. I just don't see how raising my basal would do anything OTHER than bring me right back to where I started, and that's not a place I want to be anymore.

You know, the whole thing is so individual it amazes me that doctors actually try to lay all that blanket treatment stuff on us at all! I don't know what the answer is for you, but I do know that if you keep at it you will find it! The last two weeks is the first time I've been able to take the same dosages of both insulins for more than 7 days in 6 months! It takes some time sometimes!
