I would think that it could be permanent? I had quite a few hypos in my early 20s many of which, of course, had to do with user errors but I think that there may have been some sort of non-diabetes related change in my body that also contributed? I still see changes occasionally and if I get 3 days of goofy readings, I will nudge my basal rates up or down. I think that it's sort of a mistake to think that your rates will never change.

I agree. Mine change usually every other week. It's become habit to change my basal rates in the middle of the day and then keep going. This was a lot more abrupt than usual though.

My basals change often as well. Are you doing better today Stephen? Did you go low overnight?

Doing a ton better. Haven't had any trouble at all today or yesterday... guess it was just one of those flukes.

I did find that between 12AM and 3AM (has its own basal segment) that my sugar was spiking up to 220ish and then crashing from 3AM to 5AM. I increased the basal rate from 12-3 and everything seems to have evened out now.

Odd.
