I work out every morning as well, 1.5 hours of weight lifting and some cardio. I really think you should eat before. You are not going to perform good if you do not have any energy for the body to use. Yeah, glucose get's released as you workout, more so if you lift weight or do anaerobic exercise. You might want to try and not cut the bolus so much, in order to have active insulin i the body when you workout.
I eat a huge breakfast, and bolus for that. I will usually have around 0.6 units of active insulin onboard when i start the workout(that is, i use about 8 units a day.) I'll very seldom go low during exercise, but i will drop pretty soon when i get home.
45 min on the treadmill will probably not build a lot of muscle though, but eating is always recommended within about 90 minnutes after a workout, so i've read.

It seems to differ greatly from person to person how working out affects you. Test and learn, test and learn....
