Consider the dawn phenomenon: a release of hormonic soup that makes us insulin resistant. Our bodies realease this stuff continually, but it's not always at the same level. Our bodies tend to shut down and need less for our afternoon siestas and night time snoozes and wakes up and needs more for our morning charge and evening mating rituals. These swings mean different basals and different bolus ratios.
