Have you considered that you could just be running low on insulin? Insulin requirements increase during the recovery period after exercise. I normally have a recovery protein shake after a workout and bolus for it. And the amount of the bolus is a lot more than the carb content would suggest it needs to be. One option is to keep your breakfast bolus the same but extend it over, say, 2 hours.
