I'm typically more than 60% basal -- 33U Levemir, with 20U bolus (300g) being "typical". I'm finding that, when I run high, I need a bit more Levemir.
Even if one did need 50/50 basal:bolus, one would need to consider one's own insulin production.
I say: Set basal such that BG remains relatively-constant when fasting. Work out the rest from there.
