I'm the same way in the morning. I had to cut my breakfast carbs back to 30 max, preferably 15. I also bolus 30 minutes early, and I super-bolus. A super bolus borrows later basals and moves them up front to help out with the spike.

What I'd do on mdi, which is what I assume you do, would be to cut way down on the initial carbs, bolus early, and bolus some extra. Then I'd have a small snack mid-morning to cover the impending low. You need to work it all out for yourself though!

Of course this assumes we have similar patterns.
