Advice on basel rates

[glavesr]

My basal rate was 27.4 and for a while my blood sugars were perfect the best they had been in over 10 years but over the past few days I have been having so many hypo's I have set my basel back to 0.90 p/h and start doing my fasting basel rate all over again I guess my question is; is this normal to need less basel as time goes by or does most peoples basel stay the same once an equalibrium is achieved???

In my experience, it is normal for basal rates to change.
It may be a temporary things such as after exercise or it may be longer term, for example, if you have lost weight.
Or it may be hormonal or age or ...

Basal rates do change due to you being human and not a machine One factor is always the weather, you will probably find you are burning off a lot of calories/carbs keeping warm in the cold weather hence the need for less insulin.

Yep mine changes regularly even if temperature, health, exercise is unchanged. Sometimes regular tweaking.
