For the last week I have had consistent higher bgs readings, and have been through many site changes, but I am thinking that perhaps now that winter is here, I need to bump up my basals.
 
Does anyone else have different basal settings, because of change of seasons?

I need to change some of my basal rates seasonally, lower in spring, raise them in the fall. I made my changes about 3 weeks ago (maybe I've had colder weather). I don't have to change all of them, just the 6am to 6pm basals.

Yep.  I usually have to change my overnight settings...up in winter, down in spring.  It's not by much (as little as .05) but there's a definite difference.
