Gary, I have a big drop in insulin requirements 4 - 6pm. My amateur guess is that this may be some kind of daily liver exhaustion (my needs rise very steadily, up to that point).

Regardless why, I really found that putting more intermediary steps in my basal and easing it down towards that time, helps alot for minimising my "crunch time". My gut at looking at your basals is you could try putting another basal in at 12 - 2pm or something, then try stepping it down, ease down towards your "crunch time". May be worth a shot.
