At that makes even more sense when I think about it, some of the lows coming a calling right after I bolus for a meal, and that is with a square wave bolus, so the (possible correct) bolus triggers the basal low. I am not sure about the square wave yet, that is an experiment.

Hey Mark, what are your blood sugars when you get a hard hitting low after you bolus, that is why I sometimes eat a tiny extra right before the bolus cause....I know i am on my way down...I don't feel comfortable bolusing in the 80's or 90's only at breakfast, lunch sometimes, dinner never.....
Dinner was my worst issue, I was on too high basal rate, when i first started pumping, I bolused once when I was 80 withing 45 minutes I plummited to 43 yea it sucked.....and another time I accidentally pushed the act button when I was 78 at dinner time and had a nice 50 within 45 minutes.....so I had adjusted my basal to lower about 3 hrs prior to my normal time eating...and then I didn't suffer as much or ever unless I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off....
I was thinking something was up with me, but it's not, this was happening to me while I was loosing a ton of weight and it was before I realized that is what my body was doing....it was crazy, now since I am not really loosing weight usually 4 or 5 carbs work for me, I just know what my body is going to do 95% of the time....only a few times I have been wrong...
