Problems in the morning

I'm stumped. Maybe someone can help me out here.

I take 50 units of Lantus every night around 10 PM. In the morning, I wake up with sugar levels around 100. Perfect! But then, if I eat breakfast, my sugar skyrockets.

I've been taking 1u / 8g of carbs. If I stay with that at breakfast, my sugar rockets but then comes back down after about two or three hours. If I lower it to taking more insulin, I stay normal in that period of time but then drop like crazy.

Any suggestions?
