It is absolutely the incidental exercise causing the problems, I can sit at my desk and have perfect flat numbers but if I brush my teeth or something I will be dropping. One night I sat still, next night I got ready for bed, both were at the same time no major differences between the days and first night I was great, next night I dropped. Since realising this fact I have managed to prevent a lot of lows, but it makes my day extremely difficult. I've talked to my doctors, of course nobody else in the universe is anywhere close to this insulin sensitive so they haven't experienced it in other patients, they just tell me to keep doing what I am doing and maybe try some intense exercise to get my blood sugar up. Sorry for the rant my blood sugar is high right now and I am not even thinking straight.
Sounds like you've explored the avenues you can since otherwise things are fairly flat. I thought I was really sensitive with a low basal requirement and 1u capable of dropping me up to 5.7 depending on the time of day. When I account for 'planned exercise' as it's called I am able to drop a good percentage of my bolus doses.
Hope your high is on the way down.
