So i know hot weather and cold weather can influence our basals and bolus ratios for some. Can stormy weather? Just wondering as the heatwave bought my basal down then as it got cooler it came back up but its popping back down again so cant see any other reason other two days of storms we got so far
 
My expectation is that it is not the storm per se but it could be a reaction to the discomfort from the humidity/high pressure.

That makes sense, i always get a headache when the storms are around.
 
Hope things settle and tiu are able to find the new set of doses and approaches that are ‘right for now’ @gillrogers

I’ve almost given trying to work out reasons behind my dose needs changing - sometimes they must seem to change with the (ahem) weather! That list of 42 things always reminds me how many overlapping and conflicting factors can be in play.

It certainly wouldn’t surprise me if atmospheric pressure / storminess could impact us!
