Basal Rates are nutty

You know, I've been having trouble with my basals I think. I recently started splitting my basals to two injections a day. One at night (10:00pm) and one at lunch (12:00pm). Basically I've gone down now from 18 units/day with one injection at night to 15/day with an 8 at night, and 7 at lunch. I've been a little bit more even, but I find that I still barely need to bolus in the morning. I can eat a 54 carb breakfast at 7:30am and not bolus at all and I'll be about 10.4mmol by 9:30am, but by 10:45am I'll have gone hypo, almost every morning. It's very frustrating. But this is less of a problem in the afternoon, and almost non-existent at night. I swear my basal needs are very different by time of day, where mornings I'm terribly sensitive, but with the pen I can't vary the basal much more other than just decreasing or increasing the injection volume. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
