Are basal lows more intense?

Holy ****! I am getting slammed with hard hitting and fast dropping lows. I am so unfamiliar with the intensity of them. My gut tells me that they must be from too high of basal settings, so I have lowered them, but I am still getting lows. And then because there is so little insulin in me I am then 5 minutes later I am at 250. I am yoyoing big time.
Unless a bolus dose is more sensitive than mdi dose. I had my mdi doses nailed because I try to eat consistenly day to day. Am I more sensitive to bolus does than a mdi dose? Is anyone aware of this possibility? I am thinking my pump educator set the basal reading way too high and that is why I am getting I slammed hard. I have to wing it until Wed before I can see my endo. Any suggestion?
